This Juliénas captures the soul of Beaujolais with both intensity and finesse. Sourced from the historic "Les Capitans" vineyard, it benefits from an ideal South/Southeast exposure and deep, siliceous volcanic soils.
This deep red reveals an expressive nose of peach, cinnamon, and blackcurrant. On the palate, it charms with its firm structure, silky tannins, and impressive ageing potential.
The Château des Capitans Juliénas pairs beautifully with bold dishes such as roasted vegetable curry, slow-cooked lamb shoulder, or a mushroom-based veggie burger. It also shines with refined brasserie classics like œufs meurette, braised beef cheek, or poultry with morel mushrooms.
A characterful yet approachable Juliénas, offering remarkable value and acclaimed by critics (93 pts – James Suckling).

France
Situated just south of Burgundy, Beaujolais is a wine-growing region with a semi-continental climate conducive to the production of fresh, fruity, brilliant red wines. Its emblematic grape variety, Gamay, expresses remarkable purity and vivacity, whether in the cuvées de soif or the deeper expressions of the crus.
The region boasts ten prestigious crus, each with its own personality: Brouilly, Côte de Brouilly, Chénas, Chiroubles, Fleurie, Juliénas, Morgon, Moulin-à-Vent, Régnié and Saint-Amour. Names that resonate with fans of gourmet red wines, combining freshness, finesse and character.
Un vin qui révèle de jolies nuances de cerise, prune et poivre blanc. La bouche est équilibrée, avec des tanins fondus et une belle longueur. Une belle découverte pour les amateurs de vins bien faits à petit prix.
Un vin parfait pour accompagner un repas entre amis. Souple, rond, avec du caractère sans excès, il séduit par sa fraîcheur et sa générosité. Excellent rapport qualité-prix.
Arômes de fruits noirs, de poivre blanc et de vanille. Sa structure tannique solide et son acidité bien maîtrisée en font un vin agréable à boire dès maintenant, avec un potentiel de garde intéressant.
Une expérience sensorielle exceptionnelle, équilibrée et riche en nuances.
Une délicieuse expérience avec ce rouge de 2021. Les notes fruitées et l'élégance en font un très bon vin.
Château des Capitans 2021 offers rich blackcurrant and plum aromas with hints of cedar and tobacco. Medium-bodied with firm tannins and a smooth finish, it’s a well-structured Bordeaux that’s both approachable and age-worthy.
A beautiful Juliénas with loads of ripe red fruit—cherry, raspberry, maybe a touch of cranberry. It’s smooth and fruity, with just enough structure to stay interesting. Paired it with roast duck and it worked brilliantly. Great value for money.
Ce vin rouge français m'a séduit par son équilibre subtil et ses notes délicates de fruits rouges. Un vrai plaisir gustatif.
