Producer Information

Domaine de la Vieille Julienne is a Rhne Valley producer known for its Chteauneuf-du-Pape. The estate is based in Les Grs in the northern part of the appellation where it produces the common Rhne varieties Grenache, Syrah, Mourvedre, Counoise and Cinsaut. The domaine was formed in 1905 and has been owned by the Daumen family ever since. It wasn’t until the 1960s that Vieille Julienne began to bottle and release its own wines. It gained critical recognition and popularity in the 1990s after a focused effort to reduce yields. The Vieille Julienne Reserve Chteauneuf-du-Pape was first released in 1994 to critical acclaim, and has received 100-point scores from Robert Parker for several of its vintages. Vieille Julienne has 10 hectares (25 acres) under vine in Chteauneuf-du-Pape and a further 5 hectares (12 acres) of Ctes du Rhne vineyards. Grenache is the most important variety, making up 60 percent of the flagship Vieille Julienne Chteauneuf-du-Pape wine, and the majority of all of the other red blends. The reserve is 95 percent Grenache and comes from the domaine’s oldest vines, some of which are a century old.
