The 2012 Châteauneuf-du-Pape Les Hauts-Lieux from Domaine de la Vieille Julienne is a red wine from the southern Rhône Valley. Vieille Julienne is one of the most respected in the region, known for its focus on biodynamic viticulture. This bottling is a blend of the domaine`s oldest vines, primarily Grenache, from a specific parcel on a high plateau. The 2012 vintage produced wines of marked ripeness and concentration. This wine is noted for its powerful yet elegant character, with a profile of dark fruit, cassis and a hint of forest floor. It has a full-bodied palate with a firm, well-integrated tannic structure and a very long, complex finish.

Vinous
Vivid ruby. Intense mineral- and spice-accented red berry liqueur and floral pastille scents show excellent clarity, with a hint of cola adding depth. Displays sweet black raspberry and bitter chocolate on the palate, with tangy acidity and a hint of white pepper adding vivacity and cut. Expands and gains sweetness on the strikingly long finish, showing lingering lavender pastille and spicecake qualities and fully integrated tannins. Josh Raynolds1st April 2015
