What terroir is Château Fuissé Juliénas AOP 2022 produced on?

Juliénas is one of the ten Beaujolais crus, located in the north of the region, on soils composed of pink granite and schist, sometimes mixed with clay deposits. This terroir gives the wines of the cru a structure that is often more pronounced than that of other Beaujolais wines, with a greater aging potential than the regional average. The semi-continental climate, tempered by the influence of the Beaujolais massif, promotes a gradual ripening of the grapes.

The Gamay Noir grape, which produces white juice and is the only variety permitted in the appellation, expresses here an aromatic profile focused on red fruit and spices.
