Domaine de la Vieille Julienne Les Trois Sources – Châteauneuf-du-Pape – Red – 2018:

 

Discovering the Elegance of Vieille Julienne’s ‘Les Trois Sources’

The Domaine de la Vieille Julienne « Les Trois Sources » stands as a pillar of quality in Châteauneuf-du-Pape. This biodynamic red wine, crafted from Grenache-dominant blends grown on the appellation’s northern sandy slopes, offers a rare combination of opulent flavour and structural elegance. The aging process in large, old oak ensures the wine is a pure, unadulterated expression of its exceptional terroir, destined for the finest cellars.

The Sommelier’s Tasting Profile

• **Appearance:** A deep, dark ruby hue.
• **Aroma:** An intense and refined nose, featuring ripe dark fruit (mulberry, blackcurrant) alongside classic garrigue, floral hints of violet, black liquorice, and gentle sweet spices.
• **Taste:** Full-bodied yet beautifully balanced. It is opulent without being heavy, showcasing silky, integrated tannins and a vibrant mineral core. The lengthy, spiced finish confirms its pedigree and outstanding capacity for long-term cellaring.

Food Matching & Decanting

This magnificent wine requires thoughtful service. We strongly advise decanting for at least two hours before serving to fully appreciate its depth. Serve at 16-18°C.

• **Recommended Matches :** Traditional Roast Beef with all the trimmings, rich Game Pie (Venison or Partridge), or a platter of mature, hard English cheeses.
