Juliénas is an appellation located in the far northwest of the Beaujolais.
Juliénas wines are so called in honour of Julius Caesar who occupied the region in 100 BC. His troops may have already been growing vines back then…
The vines grow at altitudes of between 230 to 430 meters on a east-facing slope that gets steeper and steeper. The soil is composed of granite and ancient alluvium making it well drained.
