Organic and biodynamic approaches, minimal intervention and a great love for the terroir have always displayed the essence of Vieille Julienne. Jean-Paul Daumen took over from his father in 1992 and has since become one of the most iconic, innovative and respected producers of the Rhone. In addition to his Vieille Julienne label, Jean-Paul is also making wines under his biodynamic negoc label ‘Daumen’. Even if these wines have the intention to be more accessible, they are anything but simple. Read More

Domaine de la Vieille Julienne Cotes du Rhone Lieu-dit Clavin 2020
Plenty of flavour here. Cherry and chocolate, dried flower and herb perfume, toasted hazelnut. It’s fleshy and thick with tannin, some orange peel and dried herb twang, a little warmth from alcohol, soft acidity, with a slightly malty finish of good length, albeit a bit soft and muddy. Good wine though.
