Armand Heitz Juliénas Beaujolais Rouge

It opens with aromas of dark cherry, raspberry, violets, and warm spice, with a subtle mineral edge from the blue‑stone soils. Compared to more muscular Juliénas producers, Heitz’s style is lighter, more floral, and more Burgundian, thanks to the gentle extraction. On the palate, it is silky, bright, and finely structured, showing flavors of red and black berries, spice, and crushed stone, supported by fresh acidity and supple tannins. The short maceration keeps the wine lifted and pure.
