2020 Laurent Perrachon Julienas L'Irresistible

For decades, Beaujolais has been seen as a byword for flavourless light red wine; a passé wine deliberately forgotten.

But in recent decades, the Gamay from Beaujolais has risen, phoenix-like, to take its rightful place as some of the most delicious red wines on the planet.

This is the emblematic and historic family estate of Laurent Perrachon. Anyone who has spent any time browsing the extensive pages of our products will know the name. They are one of the leading luminaries driving the reignition of the region and have been courted by some of the world's leading wine importers and wholesalers, particularly in the US and Europe.

We sell them by the container load.

Using classic, goblet-trained, old-vine material from some of the leading climats, Perrachon make dynamic, organic, terroir-driven wines that seem to have more in common with the great estates of Burgundy, than they do Beaujolais itself. They are intensely cerebral wines that will have you coming back for more.
