Georges Duboeuf 2009 Prestige Gamay (Juliénas)
With the embossed bottle and the extra years aging, Duboeuf’s Prestige range does have an extra quality. This Juliénas is ripe, concentrated, a powerful expression of Gamay with a more serious intent.

Pascal Aufranc 2007 Gamay (Juliénas)
- $17
A deeply concentrated wine that makes full use of its tannins to go for black fruits, some sweetness and a final dense texture. It has power, but the fruit is still refreshing with its acidity, balancing each other in a comfortable double act.

From a 15-acre vineyard owned by Georges Duboeuf. It is a big, bold, ripe wine backed by light wood flavors, and juicy red plum fruits. It is vivid, colorful and solid.
