The red wines from the Beaujolais Cru region of Juliénas are typically expressive, juicy, earthy and a great match for food. This one, by the acclaimed Domaine Pardon, is made with grapes hand-picked from old vines. The 2019 vintage won a gold medal at the Decanter World Wine Awards and scored 96 points at the International Wine Challenge. Expect a deeply coloured wine with fresh, powerful red fruit flavours and a rich character. Allow it to age for up to three years or serve now with coq au vin.
