Juliénas Probus · Profile

The Probus vineyard is at the end of the road, secluded and planted with 85-year old vines. Low yields and a careful, low-intervention process in the cellar result in a complex wine with surprising depth and staying power. On the palate the wine is rich and ample with floral highlights and undertones of mocca. Delicious!
