“Les Petites Parcelles” translates to “the small plots,” referencing a selection of specific vineyard parcels within the estate.

Châteauneuf du Pape with precision, structure,and aromatic complexity. In the glass, it shows a deep ruby colour with garnet reflections.

Rich dark fruit flavours mingle with savoury spice, licorice,and earth,evolving into a long, resonant finish.

Domaine de la Vielle Julienne is an iconic producer of some of the world’s greatest Chateauneuf du Papes. The Julienne Chateauneuf du Pape Reserve is considered one of the greatest red wines in the world. Parker has called this wine and I quote, “One of the greatest red wines in the world”. Jean Paul Daumen, owner and winemaker is considered one of the greatest wine makers in France today. His wines are world class and priced accordingly. Now Daumen has decided to change is philosophy. He was making some of his wines with estate fruit combined with purchased. He has now decided to make wine only from vineyard that are part of the estate. The result of this is the spectacular value red I bring you today.This Chateauneuf du pape is priced about $35 less per bottle than his other Chateauneufs. Amazing Buy
