2005 Juliénas, Domaine Joubert
Easygoing yet satisfyingly complex, this lovely wine, with its aromas of raspberries and cherry-stone elegance, is at its best with roast duck or soft cheeses. Based in Lantignie near the 'cru' village of Regnié, the Joubert family operate from a charming chalet-like wooden winery. It sits in a mini-crevasse formed by the village's towering church walls and a precipitous slope of vines. This wine hails from Juliénas, one of 6 'crus' in which the Jouberts own vineyards.
