Wine Advocate 90
"The 2015 Julienas Tradition, which underwent a 10- to 12-day semi-carbonic maceration, has a well defined, dark cherry and raspberry-scented bouquet with subtle undergrowth notes developing with aeration. The palate is very well balanced with supple tannin, the acidity well judged, smooth and caressing in the mouth with a long finish. There is just a little reduction here so give this 6 months in bottle and you will have a very delicious and well made Julienas."

About:
From a selection of vines on coteaux du Mont Bessay, it exhibits the specific characteristics of a Burgundian winemaking. It has been aged 24 months in barrels before bottling to obtain the right mellowness and great ageing potential.
Michel Tête works the old-fashioned way. As a winemaker, he follows quasi-Burgundian techniques for his Beaujolais-Villages and Juliénas, with a semi-carbonic maceration where the cap of skins is kept submerged in the juice, and remontages break it several times a day. Tête’s wines are fleshy and generous, have intense color, lively berry aromas, and notes of black pepper.
