2017 Côtes du Rhône Lieu-dit Clavin, Domaine de la Vieille Julienne

From just across the border from Châteauneuf. This is remarkably textured and fresh, with energy, purity, and plenty of density, too. There’s salinity on the finish, making this just so drinkable.

2017 Côtes du Rhône Lieu-dit Clavin, Domaine de la Vieille Julienne
Domaine de la Vieille Julienne

One of the most compelling winemakers in the region, the gentle Jean-Paul Daumen has a philosophy of winemaking akin to an artist. Jean-Paul converted the property, which had been in the family since 1905, to biodynamic practices in 1998. His attention to detail and passion for his vines could not be more obvious after just a few minutes in his company. Almost Burgundian in style, here is Grenache winemaking par excellence, right next door to the legendary Château Rayas. They release a year later than other producers.
