2017 Domaine de la Vieille Julienne "Les Trois Sources" Châteauneuf-du-Pape

SKU #1490203 97 points Jeb Dunnuck

Outer quote mark Leading off the three Châteauneuf Du Papes, the 2017 Châteauneuf Du Pape Les Trois Sources comes from more sandy soils just across the road from the estate. It always shares more stylistic similarities with the Réserve and is more opulent, sexy, and fruit loaded compared to the Hauts-Lieux cuvée. This 2017 is spectacular, offering loads of black fruits, black licorice, ground herbs, violets, and some obvious loamy soil and mineral-like aromas and flavors. Full-bodied, expansive, and multi-dimensional, this is another singular wine from Jean-Paul Daumen that tastes like the essence of this stunning terroir. Inner quote mark (8/2019)

93 points Decanter

Outer quote mark Sandy soils have produced a bright, open and dynamic wine with aromas of damson, plum and a touch of liquorice. It's medium-bodied with really powerful, piercing acidity, and shows more liquorice on the palate along with some internal sweetness and super-bright fruits. The alcohol is a little raised but it's a very clean, vivid and tense wine. Drinking Window 2020 - 2028. (MW) Inner quote mark (10/2018)

Jancis Robinson

Outer quote mark Cask sample. Incredibly pure blackberry jam fruit, excellent spicy quality and superbly glossy texture. Rich, dense and firmly tannic on the palate, but the fruit is already in pristine condition, with juicy, ready-to-drink accessibility. Impeccable, polished primary character and long, fibrous finish. (RH) 17.5/20 points Inner quote mark (10/2018)

Additional Information:

Varietal:

Rhone Blends

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.
