Domaine Juliette Avril
Domaine Juliette Avril produces wines from Châteauneuf-du-Pape, the Southern Rhône's most prestigious appellation. The estate works with the region's classic varieties—Grenache, Syrah, and Mourvèdre—crafting wines that reflect the warm, stone-studded terroir of the papal enclave. Cuvée Maxence, a Syrah and Grenache blend, leads the portfolio and has earned recognition from Decanter, Wine Spectator, Wine Enthusiast, and Wine Advocate. Les Vignes de Juliette Châteauneuf-du-Pape, a three-variety blend anchored by Grenache, follows closely in critical assessment. The flagship Châteauneuf-du-Pape Rouge rounds out the core range, uniting Syrah, Mourvèdre, and Grenache in the traditional Southern Rhône style. These wines embody the power and structure characteristic of the appellation—ripe dark fruit, herbal complexity, and the mineral grip imparted by the region's distinctive pebbled soils.
