- Dijon-born Julien Sunier caught the wine bug working in Christophe Roumier’s vineyards and cellar, which eventually sent him south to New Zealand and west to California – both surfing meccas – before settling in Beaujolais.
- As a young dynamo with an enthusiasm for organic vinticulture, Julien succesfully secured densely planted, old-vine, high altitude parcels in the Cru villages of Fleurie, Morgon and Régnié.
- Gentle handling of fruit from harvest to press, followed by 11 months of ageing in used Burgundy barrels lead to lifted, lacy, ethereal wines that are reminiscent of Julien’s Chambolle beginnings.
