The 2021 Châteauneuf-du-Pape Les Hauts-Lieux offers a red-fruit-driven profile alongside peppery nuances and black cherry traces. Structured and refreshing, there’s a lovely sense of energy to this 2021, yet there’s plenty of substance and good length to confirm a wine of outstanding quality.

Black raspberries, ground pepper, sappy Mediterranean herbs, camphor, and graphite notes all emerge from the 2021 Châteauneuf Du Pape Les Hauts-Lieux, another Burgundian wine from Jean-Paul that’s medium-bodied and has a layered, balanced, elegant mouthfeel along with outstanding length.

Domaine de la Vieille Julienne
Under the guidance of Jean-Paul Daumen, this estate on the very northern borders of the Châteauneuf-du-Pape appellation is now considered to be one of the leading domaines. One of the first estates to convert to biodynamic practises when Jean-Paul took over from his father in 1990, the 22 hectares of vineyards are nearly all north facing, giving relieve from the hot summer days and lending the wines the all-important freshness. Attention to detail is everything here, with some very old plots of Grenache, Mourvèdre, Cinsault & Carignan and a wine making style more at home in Burgundy, it is clear to see why it is held in such high regard by journalists, Rhône enthusiasts, sommeliers and restaurateurs around the world.
Trois Sources is from sand-based vineyards on the lower banks of the estate and are the more approachable when young, whilst the Les Hauts Lieux come from the limestone dominated higher vineyards on the northern boundary of Châteauneuf-du-Pape and need more time to come around. In great years a Reserve wine is made in miniscule quantities from ancient Grenache vineyards. Our visit in July to taste the 2019’s justifiably confirmed our excitement to be working with and shipping from Vieille Julienne; these are deeply coloured, pure and aromatic but with incredible freshness - you can buy these confident that they will richly reward patience over the next 8-15 years. They also produce an utterly brilliant Côtes du Rhône called Lieu-dit Clavin, possible the best value Côtes du Rhône in the entire Rhône Valley.
