Chateauneuf du Pape 2016 Les Hauts Lieux - Domaine de la Vieille Julienne
96/100 Wine Spectator
Tasting Notes: " Intense, featuring a hefty core of dark currant, fig and blackberry confiture flavors, meshed with bittersweet cocoa, smoldering tobacco and warm earth notes. Tarry grip supports the finish, while a mouthwatering garrigue streak drives through. Grenache, Mourvèdre and Cinsault. Best from 2022 through 2040. - JM"
It is the highest and most sheltered part of the slope. The marly soils and shallower safres covered with quartzite pebbles are particularly suitable for mourvèdre. It is also the coolest and later part of the slope and under the frequent firmness of the tannins, the wines are vigorous and of great elegance.
Surface area: 4.5 ha
Grape varieties: grenache noir, mourvèdre, cinsault and counoise.
Average age of the vines: 70 years
