2018 Châteauneuf-du-Pape Vieille Julienne Les Trois Sources Wine

Domaine de la Vieille Julienne Chateauneuf-du-Pape 2018
Hailing from the sun-drenched vineyards of Chateauneuf-du-Pape in France’s iconic Rhone Valley, Domaine de la Vieille Julienne’s 2018 Chateauneuf-du-Pape Red Blend is a masterclass in balance and complexity. Crafted by generations of winemaking expertise, this wine offers a refined drinking experience that distinguishes itself through its elegant approachability compared to other expressions from this esteemed estate.

From its first pour, this wine captivates with a fragrant bouquet of ripe black cherry and cassis intertwined with subtle hints of violet and anise—a aromatic tapestry enriched by Provencal herbs like thyme and rosemary. On the palate, layers of dark fruit puree (plum, blackberry) meld seamlessly with savory elements such as tapenade and garrigue’s earthy undertones, while a touch of black tea adds depth without heaviness. At 14.5% alcohol by volume, it strikes a harmonious balance between richness and freshness, making it versatile for pairing or savoring alone.

Recognized by top critics for its quality, Jeb Dunnuck praised its “beautifully layered” structure (95 points), noting how it evolves gracefully in the glass—ideal for short-term aging to enhance its depth further. Wine Spectator echoed its distinction (94 points), highlighting its restrained yet focused character that rewards patience before reaching peak drinkability from 2024 onward through 2036+.

This Rhone red stands out for its nuanced elegance versus bolder counterparts like Les Hauts-Lieux, appealing to lovers of structured yet approachable wines that reflect Provence’s terroir through every sip. Whether enjoyed now with hearty dishes—think grilled meats or herb-crusted lamb—or cellared for future enjoyment, it delivers sophistication that pairs perfectly with special occasions or quiet evenings alike.

A testament to Domaine de la Vieille Julienne’s artistry in crafting authentic Chateauneuf-du-Pape blends since 1997, this bottle promises both immediate pleasure and long-term satisfaction for discerning wine enthusiasts seeking exceptional value in Rhone Valley wines.
