Domaine de la Vieille Julienne, Châteauneuf-du-Pape "Les Haut-Lieux" 2018

Region: Châteauneuf-du-Pape, Rhône Valley - France

Grapes : Grenache, Mourvèdre, Cinsault and Counoise.

Color: Red robe

Scents: There’s a blackberry fruit lead aroma on the nose, which is muscular, broad, young

Palate: The palate bears compact content that comes in a tight weave, a criss-cross of fresh tannins attached, pebbly content, stone fruits. This is very typical of its place, the Grenache heart is true. It ends on grippy tannins, quite a lot of them

This is the highest elevation and the most sheltered part of the terroir of slopes/ Marlstone soils and shallow safres covered with quartzite pebbles are entirely suitable for mourvedre. Under the tense tannis, wines are vigorous with huge elegance. 

Average age: 75 years old
