The big "pleasure wine", this is how we can call La Ferme Julien. A simple wine, but excellent each year vintage after vintage. One of the best value wines in the world.
The vintage
Despite climatic challenges throughout the year requiring constant vigilance and considerable work in the vineyard, the 2024 vintage looks very promising. The harvest began on August 2nd, and the last grapes were picked on October 3rd. Each vineyard was harvested at perfect maturity, with grapes that were both balanced and expressive. The work in the vineyards was demanding, but the efforts made should result in wines of high quality. The first tastings reveal wines with a very good balance, combining fruitiness, tension and finesse. With optimal phenolic maturity, supported by good acidity, they also reveal great freshness and a beautiful structure. Promising qualities for this 2024 vintage which should stand out for its aromatic richness and its aging capacity.
Ageing
This is adapted to suit each wine, grape variety and producer. Nearly all the grapes are lightly crushed and fermented in cement vats of 150 and 300 hectolitres. The fermentation is classic and extended.

Tasting
Elegant clear purple-red color, with violet reflections. Particularly seductive, the nose reveals a complex aromatic bouquet with notes of black fruits such as blackcurrant and blueberry subtly mixed with notes of leather and violet. Perfect balance between deliciousness and freshness, the palate offers aromas of very ripe fruit, pepper and elderberry supported by very supple tannins. A wine of great drinkability.
