Tasting Notes

Domaine de la Vieille Julienne Daumen Côtes du Rhône 2021

"Strawberry, mint, peanuts, dried herb, a little game meat. It’s bright, medium-bodied, a little bit squishy in terms of poached red fruit, with a sappy sort of blood orange and rhubarb tang, a gentle rasp to tannin, and a lightly chalky finish of good length. Cherries, herbs, sappy acidity, and good length. It’s a nice wine." 90 Points, Gary Walsh, The Wine Front

"The Daumen releases...which can be thought of as supernegociant wines where Jean-Paul is directly involved with all aspects of the vineyards and winemaking. In short, there are few wines I'd rather have on my table than those from Jean-Paul Daumen! " Jeb Dunnuck

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 Rhône. In addition to his Vieille Julienne label, Jean-Paul is also making wines under his biodynamic negociant label ‘Daumen’. Even if these wines have the intention to be more accessible, they are anything but simple. Read More
