Domaine Julien Masquin
Domaine Julien Masquin works the Southern Rhône's most storied appellation, Châteauneuf-du-Pape, where the region's signature blend of Grenache, Mourvèdre, and Syrah thrives on the famous galets—smooth stones that radiate heat into the vines. The domaine's reds anchor on Montplaisir Rouge, a Grenache and Mourvèdre expression that balances the appellation's ripe, structured character. L'Intimiste Châteauneuf-du-Pape Blanc, built from Grenache Blanc and Bourboulenc, represents the region's less common white tradition—mineral and textured where the reds are bold. Si...Rare Châteauneuf-du-Pape rounds the portfolio with a full blend of Syrah, Grenache, and Mourvèdre. Decanter, Wine Advocate, Wine Enthusiast, and Wine Spectator have all assessed the domaine's output, reflecting the precision and depth expected from serious Châteauneuf producers.
