Decanter, October 2020

Great freshness and beautiful vibrancy. Serious concentration here, not the most elegant tannins compared to previous years, it's a rambunctious vintage. Grenache, Cinsault, Syrah, Counoise, Mourvèdre, Muscardin, Terret...

The 2019 Domaine de la Vieille Julienne Chateauneuf du Pape les Trois Sources is a proprietary blend from the renowned Rhone Valley in France. This red wine hails from the Southern Rhone's Chateauneuf du Pape appellation, produced by Domaine de la Vieille Julienne. It features a robust 15% alcohol content and is sealed with a traditional cork closure.

This wine is a blend of several varietals, predominantly Grenache, along with Cinsault, Syrah, Mourvèdre, and other lesser-known varieties like Muscardin, Terret Noir, Vaccarèse, Grenache Blanc, Clairette, and Picardan. The vines average 75 years of age and are grown on three terraces of sandy soils.

The wine has garnered high praise from reviewers. Decanter awarded it a score of 94, noting its "great freshness and beautiful vibrancy" and describing it as having "serious concentration" with "distinctly brambly fruit." They highlighted that the tannins might not be the most elegant compared to previous vintages, calling it a "rambunctious vintage."

Jeb Dunnuck gave the wine an excellent review, scoring it 96 points and describing it as possessing "more cassis, morello cherry, Asian spice, and a beautiful sense of minerality and loamy earth." He praised its "perfect balance, building tannins, and a great finish," suggesting it will benefit from another 4-5 years of cellaring and could be enjoyed over the next two decades or more. Dunnuck's review underscores the wine's full-bodied and concentrated nature, crediting the sandy soils of the northern part of the appellation for its unique character.

Vinous also provided a favorable review, rating it 93 and highlighting its "mingling aromas of licorice, black cherry and plum, redcurrant, garrigue and discreet hints of leather." The wine is noted for being full-bodied and spicy, with a firm tannic structure and a complex finish.

Overall, the 2019 Domaine de la Vieille Julienne Chateauneuf du Pape les Trois Sources is a well-received wine, celebrated for its intensity, balance, and potential for aging.
