WINE DESCRIPTION

The wine is made from grapes grown in the Clavin vineyard, located in the Côtes du Rhône appellation. The vineyard features old vines that are carefully tended to by hand, resulting in low yields and high-quality grapes. The winemaking process involves traditional techniques, including natural fermentation and aging in oak barrels. The resulting wine is a complex and elegant blend of Grenache, Syrah, and Mourvèdre, with notes of dark fruit, spice, and earthy undertones.

ORIGINS
Winery: Domaine de la Vieille Julienne
Region: Rhone
The Rhone wine region is located in southeastern France. It runs along the Rhone River roughly from Lyon in the north to Avignon in the south. It is divided into two main sub-regions: the Northern Rhone, running from Lyon to Montelimar, and the Southern Rhone, from Montelimar to Avignon. Although wines of all color are made, both regions are most famous for thier red wine. The Northern Rhone is known for its full-bodied red wines made from Syrah grapes with the possible inclusion of some white grapes, while the Southern Rhone is known for its blends of Grenache, Syrah, and Mourvèdre grapes. The region has a long history of wine production, dating back to the ancient Romans with the sites of some former Roman vineyards being replanted surrounding the town of Vienne.CUSTOMER RATING
