After completing his viticultural and winemaking studies at Beaune, Julien Mus returned to his family domaine on the outskirts of the Chateauneuf-du-Pape. Until then the grapes from the domaine had been sold off to the local co-op. The domaine consists of four hectares of AOC Côtes du Rhône and six hectares of Vin de Pays designated vineyards around Courthezon, to which Julien has added a small plot of AOC Châteauneuf-du-Pape, located between the two iconic Châteauneuf estate Font de Michelle and Vieux Télégraphe, near the south-eastern border of the appellation.

Julien is still honing his winemaking style, but his wines all have very pure, expressive fruit and have already attracted attention and high scores from the “Wine Advocate.” 

60% Grenache, 40% Mourvedre. A selection of the 100 year old vines (certified organic), grown in 4 rows on the Crau plateau. Destemmed, sorted and fermented in concrete, prior to 24 months ageing in stainless steel and released after 2 years bottle aging.
