2005 Juliénas, Domaine Joubert

Easygoing yet satisfyingly complex, this lovely wine, with its aromas of raspberries and cherry-stone elegance, is at its best with roast duck or soft cheeses. Based in Lantignie near the 'cru' village of Regnié, the Joubert family operate from a charming chalet-like wooden winery. It sits in a mini-crevasse formed by the village's towering church walls and a precipitous slope of vines. This wine hails from Juliénas, one of 6 'crus' in which the Jouberts own vineyards.

2004 Cornas 'Patou' Domaine Dumien-Serrette

This diminutive property of 1.8 hectares is planted with 100% Syrah and farmed along the principles of lutte raisonnée. The domaine has been in the family for four generations and the majority of methods Gilbert Serrette employs very much follow the family tradition - crushing is still carried out manually by foot, as is pigeage and they still use a manually operated, vertical press, with élevage being carried out in old wooden vats.
