Originally from Burgundy, where he worked from Beaune to Nuits-Saint-Georges, he created strong ties with the mythical Christophe Roumier, before charting longer flights to California and New Zealand. On his return, Julien secured the best positioned old vines on 9 hectares situated on the highest hills of three of the most prestigious crus of Beaujolais: Morgon, Fleurie and Régnié. The work of the land is organic and the focus is on expressing the granite profile of its vines in an elegant, almost ethereal way, with a delicate weave of tannins. Beaujolais with a ‘Chambollic’ soul!

"Julien Sunier established his own small domaine in 2008 after a period working with Christophe Roumier in Chambolle-Musigny, and he has quickly emerged as one of the region's rising stars. Committed to organic farming since the beginning, integral fermentation in low-temperature cement vats, followed by an élevage in used Burgundy barrels, are the fundamentals of his approach. The style is delicate, elegant and fragrant, emphasizing grace and charm." William Kelley - Robert Parker 

At almost 500 m altitude, the plot planted in the early 60's is quite steep and is called "Niagara" is. The parent rock is composed of pure pink granite with little topsoil, the plot is rocky and challenging This Gamay ages for up to 11 months in 3 to 9 year old barrels purchased in Burgundy.
