from Gamay grapes. Beaujolais Nouveau day is November 19th

quantities in the first full year of its life.

2007 Manoir du
Carra, Juliénas, Cru Beaujolais 12/750ml

6
The 2005 vintage was the Sambardier family's
first release of the Juliénas, the oldest Cru of
Beaujolais, that was
named for the famous Roman Emperor Julius Caesar.
The vineyards are located in the lieu-dit "En bottiere"
on granite and schist soil types.
Young and dynamic winemaker Frederic Sambardier only produces
4,800 bottles or 400 cases (12/750ml) from 0.8 hectare (1.97
acre).
The vines average over 50 years old. Skin maceration during
fermentation for 10-12 days. Finally, the wine has had 4 months
of aging in foudre (large barrel). Egg white fined, the wine
is bottled unfiltered.
Imported - 150 cases 6/750 ml
Tasting notes: Beautiful ruby red color. Pleasing and graceful, this
full-bodied Juliénas displays spices and ripe red and black
fruit aromas (red currant, blackberry). This well balanced
wine shows soft tannins and a long lasting finish. Excellent
now, it will show even better after a few years of cellaring.
This is a perfect match with game, poultries, white meats and
cheeses or even by itself as an aperitif.
"A
rich Burgundy color. It has a refreshing bouquet and a yummy
flavor — full, fruity, and tangy, with a hint of pepper. We
enjoyed the Juliénas with a rustic mushroom risotto recently.
The distinctive Gamay flavor resonated nicely with the
risotto’s dark, woodsy elements."

2006 Manoir du
Carra, Juliénas, Cru Beaujolais 6/750ml
"Deep
vivid red color. Energetic raspberry and blackberry aromas are
complicated by dried violet and smoky minerals. Fleshy
red berry and blackcurrant flavors are
youthfully taut, with tangy minerality adding vivacity. Medium-bodied,
fresh and youthfully bitter, with good finishing grip and
energy.

2006 Manoir du Carra, Moulin à Vent, Cru Beaujolais 6/750ml
"Saturated
red. Fresh
cherry, anise, floral and mineral aromas offer impressive
clarityand
penetration. Deep bitter cherry and cassis flavors are
brightened by zesty minerality and framed by dusty tannins.
Tangy berry skin dominates the lively finish, which is
impressively focused and long."

2008 Manoir du Carra, Fleurie, Cru Beaujolais 6/750ml
"Strawberry jelly aromas are followed
by a more stern, mineral wine. The tannins are fine, with
an underlying sweet berry fruit. But it does need time, with a
density of texture that needs to round out. But worth waiting
for."
