Domaine de la Vieille Julienne, Châteauneuf-du-Pape "Les Trois Sources" 2015

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

Grapes : Grenache, Cinsault, Syrah, Counoise, Mourvèdre, Muscardin, Terret Noir, Vaccarèse, White Grenache, Bourboulenc, Clairette and Picardan

Color: Dark red

Scents: There is slight reduction on the nose, which comes with briary, garrigue airs, rosemary and sweet herbs, some meatiness

Palate: The palate goes off with a fresh charge, strides out, but there are husky notes on the finish, furry tannins. The centre is on dark red fruits, raspberry

Located on a mild terroir of slopes, between « lieu-dit Clavin » and «les Hauts-lieux», the grenache is perfectly at home there with this mosaic of safres's sands, pebbles and red clays, producing a perfect balance of power and finesse.

Average age : 75 years old;
