Julien Pineau Coup d’Jus 2019 Natural Wine – Organic French Red

Julien Pineau Côt 2019 from Loire Valley – Organic Red Wine with a Zesty Twist

Crafted by Julien Pineau in France’s Loire Valley, this organic Côt (Malbec) wine offers a vibrant escape that’s as refreshing as it is playful. Named Coup de Jus—a clever triple pun meaning “Hit of Juice,” “Electric Shock,” and a nod to Julien himself—this red wine is designed for effortless enjoyment. Perfect for those seeking a crisp yet approachable red without overpowering tannins, it’s ideal whether you’re savoring a light lunch or relaxing with friends.

This wine bursts with lively raspberry and strawberry leaf notes, delivering a juicy freshness that pairs beautifully with chilled sips. Unlike its bold Malbec counterparts from the South-West of France, Loire’s Côt shines here with a lighter body and silky texture—thanks to Julien’s meticulous winemaking—while still retaining its deep purple hue and signature complexity. Its 14.21% alcohol content adds a subtle richness without heaviness, making it versatile for casual gatherings or summer meals.

Whether you’re pairing it with savory charcuterie boards or a smoked salmon salad at noon, Coup de Jus adapts effortlessly to your table. Its crisp acidity cuts through rich flavors, while the organic certification ensures purity that aligns with eco-conscious choices.

The Côt grape thrives in Loire’s unique terroir, producing wines that contrast sharply with the robust Malbecs of regions like Cahors. Here, it’s crafted to highlight bright fruitiness rather than aggressive tannins—a refreshing take on a classic varietal.

For wine lovers who crave both style and substance, this bottle balances innovation with tradition. Its pun-filled charm and food-friendly character make it stand out in crowded shelves—ideal for discovering something new without sacrificing quality or ease of drinking.
