Understanding Domaine de la Vieille Julienne, Chateauneuf-du-Pape, Reserve, Rhone
The Reserve blend is primarily composed of Grenache, with a smaller proportion of other traditional Rhône varietals. The grapes are sourced from the oldest and most esteemed vineyards of the estate, where they benefit from the unique combination of the region's diverse soils and a north-facing aspect that promotes elegance. Domaine de la Vieille Julienne implements organic and biodynamic viticulture. Grapes are hand-selected and undergo a meticulous vinification process. Fermentation is conducted with natural yeasts, and the wine is aged in a combination of large oak foudres and smaller barrels. This careful approach to ageing ensures that the wine's character is enhanced while preserving its inherent qualities. This Reserve features dark fruit, notes of spice, leather and a distinctive minerality on an opulent palate with refined tannins and balanced acidity. This wine possesses the potential for nuanced ageing.
