Region Information:
Rhone Valley
Another of the vast Vinsobres repertoire, this wine comes from a single plot with 90 year old vines co-planted with Grenache and Syrah. The vineyard is located 40 km north of Chateauneuf-du-Pape at an altitude of 300m benefiting from a cool climate, perfect for Syrah. Vinified traditionally at the Famille Perrin cellar, this is aged in oak barrels for one year. No filtration before bottling.
Consistently one of the gems of the Southern Rhone, Vinsobres Les Hauts de Julien has a slightly Northern Rhone-like style. Magnificent balance between power and refinement: intense aromas of ripe and crunchy fruit, an attack on complex notes of black fruit, tight and precise tannins, great intensity between freshness and tension with a persistent finish.
