"There are few wines I’d rather drink than those of Vieille Julienne." Jeb Dunnuck

And he should know... before he started his own critical review website, and before we worked for the Wine Advocate, Jeb Dunnuck made his reputation writing the Rhone Report. Basically, there is no critic in the world I trust more than him when it comes to the Rhone.

Which is really saying something about the Hauts-Lieux below, which Jeb named his #1 Wine of the Year for 2020!!!

Note: There are two wines being offered here, with special Mix Six pricing!

Domaine De La Vieille Julienne Chateauneuf Du Pape Les Hauts-Lieux 2018

Sale $89.99 – Beats Best US Price by $8!!!

Mix six or more pay $79.99 – a ridiculous $18 lower than the best price in the US! (You’re welcome!)

97 pts Jeb Dunnuck – “Including slightly more Mourvèdre and from a cooler, higher elevation terroir, the 2018 Châteauneuf Du Pape Les Hauts-Lieux has more cassis, game, peppery herbs, and olive notes, as well as the classic violets and black licorice nuances that always seem to be present in the wines from this estate. Possessing full-bodied richness, an ethereal, seamless texture, ultra-fine tannins, and nicely integrated acidity, it’s a more structured wine compared to the Les Trois Sources and will benefit from 2-3 years of bottle age and evolve for 15 years or more. It’s every bit as good as the Reserve cuvée in 2018.”

Domaine De La Vieille Julienne Chateauneuf Du Pape Les Trois Sources 2018

Sale $69.99 – Beats Best US Price by $10 per bottle!

Mix six or more and pay $64.99 – save $15 over Best US Price

95 pts Jeb Dunnuck – “True to form, the 2018 Châteauneuf Du Pape Les Trois Sources is a softer, more elegant wine than the Les Hauts-Lieux and offers a gorgeous perfume of black cherries, black licorice, tapenade, violets, herbes de Provence, and jus de viande. Deep, full-bodied, and beautifully layered, it gains weight with time in the glass and is going to benefit from just short-term cellaring. It doesn’t have the concentration for any long-term cellaring yet my money is on it evolving nicely for a solid 10-12 years.”
