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

Domaine de la Vieille Julienne Châteauneuf-du-Pape Vieilles Vignes 2001 is one of the most sought-after expressions of Grenache from the Southern Rhône. Crafted from very old vines on the famed Clavin lieu-dit, it combines power, precision, and freshness in a style that has made Domaine de la Vieille Julienne a cult name among collectors.

Tasting Notes
In the glass, the wine shows remarkable aromatic depth, with dark cherry, blackberry, liquorice, garrigue, and Mediterranean spice layered over floral notes, crushed stone, and warm earth. It is intensely flavoured yet refined, with a silky texture, concentrated fruit, and a vivid sense of energy that gives the wine lift and balance. The finish is long and complex, unfolding with ripe fruit, spices, and chalky mineral nuances. Built for the long haul, this is a wine with outstanding ageing potential and, in a strong vintage like 2001, can develop beautifully over many years, gaining further nuance and savoury complexity.

Production
Vieilles Vignes is made primarily from very old Grenache vines rooted deeply in the stony, limestone-rich soils around Clavin in Châteauneuf-du-Pape. The domaine works with a biodynamic approach in the vineyard and a low-intervention philosophy in the cellar, allowing the wine to reflect its terroir with clarity and precision.

Food & Serving
This wine pairs beautifully with roasted lamb, game, duck breast, or rich Provençal dishes with herbs and olives. Serve at around 16-18°C, and consider decanting for at least 1-2 hours if drinking now to help the wine раскры its full aromatic complexity and softened texture.

Producer
Domaine de la Vieille Julienne, led by Jean-Paul Daumen, has earned cult status for terroir-driven wines that balance concentration with freshness and elegance. The estate is widely regarded as one of the benchmark producers in Châteauneuf-du-Pape, and its Vieilles Vignes cuvée is a flagship wine that has become highly respected among Rhône collectors.
