Domaine de la Vieille Julienne Châteauneuf-du-Pape Réserve 2009 is a full-bodied, blended red wine from the southern Rhône Valley of France. Domaine Vieille Julienne Châteauneuf-du-Pape Reserve is one of the true icons of the Southern Rhône, winner of frequent 100-point scores from critics, and of effusive praise from enthusiasts of full-flavoured French reds. The Daumens family has been farming the estate in the northern section of the Châteauneuf-du-Pape appellation since the early 1900s. Winemaking is overseen by Jean-Paul Daumen who practices a low-intervention winemaking regime - no sulphur is added during vinification, and the wines are bottled unfined and unfiltered. The domain`s flagship CNDP Reserve is produced from 100% Grenache from tiny-yielding centenarian vines. "This captures terrific ripeness, intensity and density with stunning mouthfeel, as layer upon layer of fig sauce, braised plum, cassis, cherry eau de vie and pastis glide along together, with notes of spice, ganache and graphite hanging in reserve. The very long finish has cut and precision, despite its weight. Should age effortlessly." Wine Spectator, 2012

Vinous
Glass-staining purple. High-pitched, spicy aromas of raspberry liqueur, potpourri, garrigue and white pepper. At once deep and lively, with impressive energy and silky texture to the sweet red fruit and floral pastille flavors. The spicy quality carries through on the tactile, palate-staining finish.Josh Raynolds1st January 2012
