Why choose this wine:

Domaine de la Vieille Julienne Les Hauts Lieux 2017 is a rare and sought-after cuvée, showcasing the purest expression of Châteauneuf-du-Pape’s high-altitude terroir. Its elevation and unique soil contribute to its freshness and vibrancy, balancing its natural power. This wine will evolve beautifully over several decades, offering an exceptional aging potential. Perfectly paired with grilled meats, game, or truffle-based dishes, it promises an unforgettable tasting experience for Rhône wine enthusiasts.

The 2017 Châteauneuf Du Pape Les Hauts-Lieux comes from slightly higher sites and contains more mourvèdre than the Les Trois Source. It's pure, full-bodied and incredibly structured, with a tight, retroactive style that will benefit from bottle age. Showing a distinct saline minerality as well as plenty of black and blue fruit notes, it reminds me of the 2015, but with more elegance.
