Product Description

By creating the first "appellation" of French AOC in 1933, the baron Leroy defined precise criteria of quality which still are a reference today : Limitation of yields, manuel harvest and sorting, concept of origin and terroir. To respect the spirit of "appellation" at Vieille Julienne, since five generations are planted Grenache, Syrah, MourvÃ¨dre, Cournoise, Cinsault and even extremely rare varieties like Muscardin and VaccarÃ¨se.

Wine Advocate (WA) Review

WA 97

The 2000 Chateauneuf du Pape Vieilles Vignes (15% alcohol) emerges from a cold terroir in the northern sector of the appellation. The blend is generally 85% Grenache and equal parts Syrah and Mourvedre. Its opaque purple color is followed by a sumptuous perfume of creme de cassis, kirsch liqueur, licorice, plums, minerals, and smoke. Mammoth in the mouth, but surprisingly structured and tannic for a 2000, it is more evolved than its 2001 counterpart. This profound Chateauneuf should evolve slowly and age magnificently for two decades. It is a monumental effort, but patience will be a virtue. Anticipated maturity: 2005-2025.-Robert Parker
