Autard, Chateauneuf Du Pape Juline Brut Zero 24 ha parcel of 35+Very oaky, modern style of Chateauneuf du Pape that inspire discussion between modernists and traditionalists. The wine has a lot of depth, fat textures, richness and ripe fruits and a real lush sensation. If the oaky, espresso notes integrate the score should go up. If they persist, my score would drop as I do not really like too much oak in Grenache driven wines.
