Domaine Chignard - Beauvernay Juliénas 2020 (750ml) Manzoni Bianco

Domaine Chignard - Beauvernay Juliénas 2020 (750ml) Manzoni BiancoJulinas is perhaps the most diverse of Beaujolaiss ten crus, making it difficult to generalize about the character of its wine. Soils range from granite to schist with pockets of clay, sand, and alluvial deposits, while a wealth of different exposures and elevations also contribute to its countless possible expressions of the Gamay grape. Site is therefore crucial, and the hill of Beauvernay is certainly among the top vineyards in the appellation.
