About Trenel Julienas Les Capitans 2017 750ML
Les Capitans Juliénas presents a vibrant ruby-garnet hue with youthful violet glints. On the nose, it opens with an exuberant burst of fresh red fruits — ripe cherry, wild strawberry, and crushed raspberry — layered with subtle violet florals and a whisper of peony. The palate is lively and structured for a Beaujolais cru, with silky yet present tannins that set Juliénas apart from its lighter counterparts. Flavors of juicy black cherry and plum take center stage, supported by a gentle earthiness and a hint of warm spice. The wine shows admirable depth and concentration, reflecting the granitic and schist soils of the appellation. The finish is clean, persistent, and refreshingly mineral.
