Reine Juliette
It all started with Picpoul de Pinet. Picpoul is the variety, Pinet the area, and when we started shipping Domaine Reine Juliette's interpretation of this underrated classic a few years ago, we were met with surprise at the winery. The talk was that the English would not drink such an obscure wine. We have proved them wrong and are delighted to report excellent sales. With the 2007 vintage of this wine being the best we have tasted yet, we expect even more success.
The rosé too has been popular with its strawberry flavours and vivid colour and along with the new-to-our-list Sauvignon Muscat, we think it is going to be a hit again this year.
Domaine Reine Juliette is situated in the small town of Pomerols in the Languedoc region of southern France. The estate is located on the Via Domitia, the main Roman road linking Italy to Spain, along which viticulture was introduced to the Languedoc. The Domaine name is derived from a Queen Juliette who is reputed to have given her name to the site following her visit there.

2005 Cabernet Merlot Domaine Reine Juliette
