Coup d’Jus, Julien Pineau - 2020

750 mL
Item # 40080

Made from old Côt vines that give layers of wild, dark fruit flavors. When Julien Pineau found out that Clos Roche Blanche wanted to sell their land, he quickly jumped on the opportunity to invest in the legendary site with partner Laurent Saillard. He respects these great vineyards. The land is worked by horse and the soils are not sprayed with pesticides. In the cellar, no addition of sulfur is used at any point and Julien favors long élevages of his cuvées. Winemaker Julien Pineau had the good fortune of taking over some vines from the iconic Clos Roche Blanche estate. He trained under Didier Barrouillet but has come into his own all the while respecting the land that he was fortunate enough to obtain.

As diverse as Loire wines are, one day soon you'll know your Melon de Bourgogne from your Romorantin.

Malbec

Known as Côt throughout much of France, Malbec is the dark-skinned variety that put Argentinian wine on the map - and likewise, Argentinian Malbec saved the grape from near obscurity. The Cahors appellation in France still relies on Malbec to distinguish many of its wines, but the area is exceptional in this regard. As the grape can be quite difficult to cultivate, it has become far less popular over the years, even in its Bordeaux home. Its South American renaissance has ensured, however, that...
