Since taking the reins in 2012, Étienne Julien has transformed the estate through sustainable viticulture, rigorous yield reduction, and a commitment to letting terroir speak. We just tasted through Étienne's 2023s, and we have to be direct with you: these are the most open and inviting wines we've ever tasted from him. He has really dialed in the extraction, and the results are the prettiest, most balanced wines we've seen from this domaine in more than a decade of working with them. The '23s have an accessibility and elegance that makes them easy to love right now — but don't let that fool you. The Côte de Nuits-Villages is the flagship of the estate, spread over eight different parcels, and these wines have the structure for the cellar as much as the table.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWhat makes this moment so exciting is the value. In today's Burgundy market, these are $50–$60 wines that compete head-to-head with bottles twice their price. That's not hype — that's 10+ years of watching Étienne improve, vintage after vintage, always pushing, always asking how to do better. He's the kind of person you love to support and promote because he earns it every year. His wines maintain classic weight and integrity—dense, persistent, built to age. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eNamed for Étienne's grandfather Armand, who expanded the estate's holdings in the 1930s, this cuvée is assembled from the estate's finest parcels—Dominode, Julbigne, Plante des Bois, and the Essards—and vinified with a portion of whole clusters for added complexity and spice. Richer and more structured than the village wine, with deeper fruit and a finish that signals serious cellaring potential.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"DNS","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48013135216888,"sku":"19936","price":64.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0709\/8001\/0232\/files\/IMG_3304.jpg?v=1772135535","url":"https:\/\/mwcwine.com\/products\/2023-domaine-gerard-julien-fils-cote-de-nuits-villages-armand","provider":"Manhattan Wine Company","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
