What the experts say...
The 2001 Chateauneuf du Pape Reserve is certainly one of the greatest Chateauneuf du Papes I've tasted and represents the essence of this fabulous terroir. From a cool and windy growing season, this work of art offers incredible creme de cassis, peppered steak, garrigue and bouquet garni to go with a flawless, massive, layered and seamless mouthfeel that carries serious amounts of fruit and tannin. When all is said and done, this beauty will have 3-4 decades or evolution.
The structure and elegance of this wine elevates the Grenache grape to special heights. A legendary wine, highly rated by professional critics, the Réservée cuvée is powerful and reveals itself with notes of black berries and mocha. The overall result is quite fresh, with a touch of menthol. Silky and extremely long in the mouth, this wine deserves several years of cellaring to develop its full potential. Serve it with a cottage pie and truffle... pure happiness guaranteed!
Current owner Jean-Paul Daumen's great-grandfather bought this very fine property in Châteauneuf-du-Pape and planted the vines here at the end of the last century. It has been a family concern since 1905. In 1960, Maxime Daumen made the transition from selling wine in bulk to the trade, to bottling his own wine. Jean-Paul Daumen took up the baton in 1990. He immediately adopted a more natural approach to tending the soil and the vines, limiting treatments and abandoning the use of chemical fertilisers and products. He also draws inspiration from biodynamic practices such as observing the lunar cycles. The vineyard boasts 25 uninterrupted hectares of pebbly terroir and grows wines under the Châteauneuf-du-Pape, Côtes du Rhône and vin de pays appellations. Its Vieille Julienne wines are produced in a classical style and have a reputation for excellence with tremendous ageing potential. They are also very expressive, dense and fruity wines and a good reflection of their terroirs and vintages.
