The 2020 Châteauneuf du Pape Les Hauts-Lieux comes from a cooler, higher-altitude plot and also contains a little more Mourvedre, both of which give this cuvée a firmer, more structured profile, especially in its youth. Fantastic red, blue and black fruits, as well as black licorice, liquid violet and peppery garrigue dominate the bouquet, and it is full-bodied, with a great mid-palate, ripe tannins and a salty, almost bloody character on the finish. It shows the more charming nature of the 2020 vintage, but still deserves 4-5 years of bottle age and will have longevity over two decades.

Domaine de la Vieille Julienne

On the northern border of Châteauneuf-du-Pape, on the heights of the single vineyard "lieu-dit Clavin", the Domaine de la Vieille Julienne was built in the 17th century and is now considered one of the leading wineries in the region. The domaine is owned by Jean Paul Daumen, who took over the business from his father. It was he who brought biodynamics in its purest form to the winery.

The vines for the very rare top Côtes du Rhône are on average 85 years old.On the heights of the "lieu-dit Clavin", sand and red clay cover the soil and provide vines that produce highly concentrated wines, more comparable to a fresh Châteauneuf-du-Pape than to a Côtes du Rhône.

The domaine's vineyards extend over approximately 15 hectares and are planted with the region's traditional grape varieties such as Grenache, Syrah and Mouvedére.

The wines embody theEssence of Châteauneuf-du-Papeand stand for tradition, quality and passion.
