"Parcel Selection"

“Yes, the 2016 Châteauneuf-du-Pape Cuvée Juline is fully oaked, but in this vintage, it seems to work better than in 2015. Notes of cedar and fine leather accentuate the dark berries in this sumptuous, rich, and velvety blend of Grenache and Syrah (50% each). It is full-bodied and concentrated, with cocoa and baking spices balanced by cola and plum, with just enough freshness on the finish to keep the wine eminently drinkable sip after sip.” (Wine Advocate 2018)

Bettane & Desseauve

Bettane & Desseauve

Winery rated 1*Star (A high-quality, recommendable production that lives up to what one would expect from its appellation(s))

About the estate:

Jean-Paul Autard cultivates 25 hectares of vineyards in the northeastern part of the appellation, all in Courthézon. The “Juline” cuvée (a combination of the names Jules and Pauline, Jean-Paul’s two children) typically consists of about half Syrah and is aged in barrels. The wines are well-structured, and the 2016 vintage of the prestigious “Côte-Ronde” cuvée is particularly successful.
Hachette Wine Guide

Guide Hachette des vins

Rated estate (2020 guide) Award-winning wines (This producer’s wines regularly receive awards from the guide)

About the estate:

A statue of the Virgin Mary at the entrance to the estate serves as a reminder that it was once a residence of the Diocese of Avignon. Beneath the pine-covered hill, the safre cellar houses the wine barrels for many months. Paul is the first name of the founder, and Jean-Paul is that of the current owner, who has been at the helm of the estate since he was seventeen. The vineyard covers 25 hectares, scattered north of Châteauneuf, near Courthézon.
