Julienas'

Gamay, Beaujolais, France

Domaine Heitz-Lochardet is a story of pedigree. Armand Heitz took over his family’s prized vineyards in the early 20-teens with the aim to make precise, pure Pinot Noirs and Chardonnays in the Cîte de Beaune from grapes that had already been farmed organically for decades (and sold to Domains like Joseph Drouhin). His wines have been beloved ever since by sommeliers the world over for their straightforward, unfussy expressions of place. In many recent years, some French producers, especially from cooler regions like Burgundy and the Loire, have been exploring other areas and grapes as climate change wreaks havoc with devastating late spring frosts and hail storms in summer. Following the trend of dabbling into adjacent regions for only the second time, Heitz’s Gamay is a stunner and no surprise. He uses traditional Burgundian methods (no carbonic maceration here!) to express a cru known for its strength, heft and spice. Julienas is appropriately named for the Roman leader Julias Caesar and Heitz is channeling some of that big Roman energy here. Silky but structured black cherries meet back-yards-in-Fall vibes. Do we feel a Russel Crowe retrospective coming on?!
