DOMAINE DU CLOS DU FIEF

DOMAINE DU CLOS DU FIEF From father to son since three generations.
The Domaine du Clos du Fief extends on 6 ha from Juliénas AOC, 1 ha of Saint Amour AOC and 5 ha of Beaujolais-Villages AOC located on the commune of Jullié, the whole coming from type of vine Gamay black to white juice. The estate comprises 1/2 ha of white Beaujolais-Villages resulting from the Chardonnay on the commune of Saint-Verand in the Saone and the Loire with in parallel the development of Crémant de Bourgogne. Juliénas 2007: wine on the fruit but with great qualities in mouth. Juliénas 2006: subtle perfume with a good length in mouth. Juliénas 2005: wine of guard with a very good harmony acidity/tannins. Put aside the vintage 2005 when nature made the things well, vintages 2006 and 2007 are wines where the knowledge to make of the vine grower is paramount.
