Lot presentation
Châteauneuf-du-Pape Vieille Julienne (Domaine de la) Réservé Jean-Paul Daumen 2000
The wine
The structure and elegance of this wine elevates the Grenache grape to special heights. A legendary wine, highly rated by professional critics, the Réservée cuvée is powerful and reveals itself with notes of black berries and mocha. The overall result is quite fresh, with a touch of menthol. Silky and extremely long in the mouth, this wine deserves several years of cellaring to develop its full potential. Serve it with a cottage pie and truffle... pure happiness guaranteed!
About the Producer Vieille Julienne
Current owner Jean-Paul Daumen's great-grandfather bought this very fine property in Châteauneuf-du-Pape and planted the vines here at the end of the last century. It has been a family concern since 1905. In 1960, Maxime Daumen made the transition from selling wine in bulk to the trade, to bottling his own wine. Jean-Paul Daumen took up the baton in 1990. He immediately adopted a more natural approach to tending the soil and the vines, limiting treatments and abandoning the use of chemical fertilisers and products. He also draws inspiration from biodynamic practices such as observing the lunar cycles. The vineyard boasts 25 uninterrupted hectares of pebbly terroir and grows wines under the Châteauneuf-du-Pape, Côtes du Rhône and vin de pays appellations. Its Vieille Julienne wines are produced in a classical style and have a reputation for excellence with tremendous ageing potential. They are also very expressive, dense and fruity wines and a good reflection of their terroirs and vintages.
