This micro plot is known as a remarkable lieu-dit, it offers every year generous structure with lingering soft tannins.
The 1.50 ha clos at the entrance of the village of Juliénas, Le Clos des Poulettes, benefits from the favourable effects of Blue Stone, a very resilient soil. Slight slope, south-east exposure.
A 3 week long maceration process and ageing on fine lees in stainless steel vats make it a complex wine with a great ageing potential.
