2001 Domaine de la Vieille Julienne Châteauneuf-du-Pape Vieilles Vignes

SKU #1190032 96 points Wine Advocate

Outer quote mark The 2001 Chateauneuf du Pape Vieilles Vignes (400 cases produced) will be the last vintage of this cuvee. A fabulous wine fashioned from 50-100-year old vines (80% Grenache and the rest Syrah and Mourvedre), its dense purple color is accompanied by gorgeous aromas of blackberries, raspberries, blueberries, minerals, and kirsch. As it sits in the glass, notions of pepper and spice also emerge from this unevolved, backward Chateauneuf. It has high levels of extract and richness as well as formidable tannin. (RP) Inner quote mark (2/2004)

95 points Wine Spectator

Outer quote mark Pumping along nicely, this features dense, sappy kirsch, blackberry cobbler and fig reduction notes all powered by long graphite tannins and waves of toasted spice and anise flavors on the finish. Vibrant, youthful and long, this stands apart from the pack. (JM) Inner quote mark (2/2012)

91 points Jeb Dunnuck

Outer quote mark Coming from sand and clay soils located in the northern/western part of the AOC, the 2001 Vieille Julienne is a 100% destemmed blend of 60% Grenache, 15% Syrah, 10% Mourvèdre, 10% Counoise, and 5% Cinsault that’s aged for 12-18 months in very old foudres. Drinking beautifully with textbook aromas of earth dark fruits, licorice, and spice, with a liquid rock like minerality component, the wine is medium bodied on the palate with a smooth, supple texture, good concentration, and an excellent finish. Inner quote mark (3/2011)

Jancis Robinson

Outer quote mark Wonderful forest-floor aroma with overripe strawberry and excellent cigar-smoke aroma. Still-firm tannins, with chewiness that fades gradually alongside the still-youthful fruit intensity. 17.5/20 points (RH) Inner quote mark (1/2018)

Country:

France

- When it comes to wine, France stands alone. No other country can beat it in terms of quality and diversity. And while many of its Region, Bordeaux, Burgundy and Champagne most obviously, produce wine as rare, as sought-after and nearly as expensive as gold, there are just as many obscurities and values to be had from little known appellations throughout the country. To learn everything there is to know about French wine would take a lifetime. To understand and appreciate French wine, one only has to begin tasting them.

Sub-Region:

Rhone

- Legendary wine-producing region in southeast France. Stereotypically speaking, Rhone wines are high in alcohol, and the majority produced is red. The northern Rhone is best known for outstanding 100% Syrah wines from areas such as Cote Rotie and Hermitage, as well as for fabulous white wines from Condrieu (where Viognier is king). In the southern Rhone, look for spicy, full-bodied wines that are blends of Grenache, Syrah, and other varietals coming from appellations such as Chateauneuf du Pape, Gigondas, or Rasteau. Wines labeled as Cote du Rhone or Cotes du Rhone Village (a cut above generic Cotes du Rhone) are frequently found here in the US because they often represent some of the best values on the market.
