JU DE VIE Vin de France AOC 2017, 75cl

The Ju de Vie takes its name from its owner Julien in an abbreviated form. It consists of 4 of the 13 typical grape varieties for the Châteauneuf du Pape - 20% Merlot, 30% Marselan, 40% Grenache, 10% Mourvèdre. The wine is aged for 8 months in concrete tanks and is a force to be reckoned with - a small Châteauneuf du Pape with lots of fruit and body, well balanced, fine and velvety.

The Domaine de la Craveirette is located in the southern Rhone Valley between Orange and Avignon in the Châteauneuf du Pape wine-growing region. The winery has a beautiful view of Mont Ventoux. Julien Mus, the owner, founded the winery in 2005 and converted to biodynamic viticulture in 2015. It was always his dream to produce quality wines.

Then he wanted to take the more difficult and interesting path and converted first to organic and then to biodynamic. On his 25 hectares he produces wines from the Châteauneuf du Papa, Côte du Rhône and Vin de Pays regions - white and red wines.
