Spice and espresso share the stage with all the ripe, black cherries, licorice and smoke on the palate. Clearly, a modern-styled Chateauneuf, the medium-bodied, fruity wine will be easy to like on release. Drink from 2022-2030.

From a blend of 50% Grenache and 50% Syrah aged in 100% new, French oak barrels, this is a modern-styled Southern Rhone wine. But the dark red fruits, peppery spice and chocolate are also front and center. There is concentration, lush textures and an opulent, albeit, oaky finish that will need a few years to integrate. Drink from 2024-2034.

Sporting a dark ruby hue, the wine instantly displays its spice, espresso, smoke, licorice, and black cherry profile without a hitch. The wine is full-bodied, concentrated, round and rich, with a lot of smoky, palate filling density from start to finish. This is going to take some cellaring for all the parts to come together. Made from an equal blend of Grenache and Syrah, the wine is aged in 100% new, French oak barrels for 19 months before bottling. Juline takes its name from Jules Autard and Pauline Autard, the children of the Autard family are one of the most modern-styled wines in all of Chateauneuf du Pape. Drink from 2025 - 2036

A shot of espresso, smoke, sandalwood and dark red fruits shoots out of the dark, red colored wine.

Espresso and sweet, fresh cherries open up the nose. On the palate the wine is soft, plush, round and polished, leaving you with a big blast of chewy red fruits, smoke, licorice and a vanilla tint that should integrate with time. A few years of bottle should make this an even better wine. Drink from 2023 - 2033

Vanilla, espresso, smoke, wet earth and dark red berries are the first thing you notice. From there, you find a blast of round, lush, sweet, ripe, juicy red fruits with a dose of oak in the finish. Give this time to integrate and it should be a much better wine.

The oak is the first thing you notice before moving on to layers of sweet ripe, opulently textured fruits. There is purity and weight here, with loads of fruits in the finish, along with wood. This will take time for everything to come together and for the oak to better integrate. The wine was made from a blend of 70% Grenache, 20% Syrah and 10% Mourvedre. The wine was aged in 30% new, French oak barrels for 14 months.

Dark in color, the wine, made from equal parts Grenache and Syrah is big, powerful, dense and concentrated and oaky.. Following the color, you're easy finding incense, espresso, spice box and smoke to accompany all the dark, red fruits. There is sweetness and depth, as well as vibrancy and opulence. The fruit is perfectly ripe and the fruit is round and lush, but you have to move past the oak, letting the wine age before you get to the real beauty found here. The wine is aged in 100% new, French oak for 19 months before bottling. Juline, takes it name from the names of Jules Autard and Pauline Autard, the children of the Autard family is one of the most modern styled wines in all of Chateauneuf du Pape..

Modern in style, with oaky notes out in front, the wine serves up vanilla, and espresso over its red fruits. Round and opulent in texture, the oak is fairly strong for a Grenache wine from Chateauneuf, so some tasters are going to have a hard time with it. The wine was made from a blend of 70% Grenache, 20% Syrah and 10% Mourvedre. The wine was aged in 30% new, French oak for 14 months.

Juline, takes it name from the names of Jules Autard and Pauline Autard, the children of the Autard family. The wine is one of the most modern styled Chateauneuf releases today. Fat, round and with a lot of oak in the nose, the oaky profile coexists with the fleshy, black raspberry and cherry tones, providing lush textures and a hedonistic approach. But there is a lot of wood going on here. The wine is made from blending of 50% Syrah and 50% Grenache that is aged in 100% new, French oak for 19 months before bottling. Much of the oak is already taken up by the Syrah, but there is still a woody profile that is going to be an issue for many tasters. I'd let this rest for at least 5-7 years for the oak to better integrate.

Smoke, with espresso and vanilla notes are what you notice first before you get to the deep, red fruits.

The wine was made from blending 50% Grenache and 50% Syrah.

Juline, takes it name from the names of Jules and Pauline Autard, is a modern styled Chateauneuf. Round, fat and forward, there is a distinctive oaky profile along with the fleshy, black raspberry and cherry tones.

This is not a wine for everyone, due to its modern styled, obviously oaky character. Once past the oak, the blend of 50% Grenache and 50% is full bodied, concentrated, lush, round, fleshy and flashy, with a sweet, cherry, licorice and herb filled personality.

Very oaky, modern style of Chateauneuf du Pape that inspire discussion between modernists and traditionalists. The wine has a lot of depth, fat textures, richness and ripe fruits and a real lush sensation. If the oaky, espresso notes integrate the score should go up. If they persist, my score would drop as I do not really like too much oak in Grenache driven wines.

Forward, open and ready for drinking, the wine is soft, round and delivers a ripe, sweet, kirsch, black raspberry, thyme, smoke and spicy taste. This is not a wine to lay down for much more aging.
