Domaine de la Vieille Julienne Chateauneuf-du-Pape Les Hauts Lieux 2017

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.
