Domaine Paul Autard Juline 2018

Named for Paul Autard’s two children, Jules and Pauline, this cuvée is a blend of 50% Syrah from 55-year old vines on a parcel with sandy soil and 50% Grenache from 80-year-old vines from a parcel with "galets roulés" (famed round stones) and sand.

Dark violet with aromas of ripe berries, fig, and plum, with a hint of vanilla spice. On the palate, floral notes and ripe fruit mingle with smoke and spice for a chewy texture and lengthy finish.
