Produced by Domaine Julien Pilon, this flagship cuvée represents the elegance and precision that have made Julien Pilon one of the Northern Rhône's most respected white wine producers. The name \"Dimanche à Lima\" (\"Sunday in Lima\") commemorates the final day of Julien's round-the-world journey with his family—the very day he officially began his career as an independent winemaker.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 2022 vintage is sourced from six vineyard parcels spread across the Saint-Joseph appellation, planted on granitic sandy soils with some limestone sectors. Vineyard exposures range from south to south-east, with vine densities between 8,000 and 10,000 vines per hectare. Each parcel is hand-harvested, vinified separately, gently pressed, and undergoes slow alcoholic fermentation followed by complete malolactic fermentation. The wine is then matured for 10 months in 225L and 400L French oak barrels, with approximately 15% new oak, creating a wine of remarkable richness, freshness, and balance. The 1.5L Magnum format allows for slower ageing, enhancing complexity and longevity while making it an outstanding choice for collectors and special occasions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eColour:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBrilliant golden straw with luminous golden reflections.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNose:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eElegant aromas of acacia flowers, honeysuckle, ripe peach, melon, pear, verbena, citrus zest, honey, and delicate toasted oak.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePalate:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMedium to full-bodied with a beautifully creamy texture.
