Vaudieu Clos du Belvedere 2015 - white wine
Even better, and 100% Grenache Blanc, the 2015 Chateauneuf du Pape Blanc Clos du Belvedere was fermented and aged all in barrel. Gorgeously pure and focused, with serious richness that never seems heavy, it offers layers of golden fruits, citrus blossom, green herbs and edgy underlying minerality to go with a medium-bodied, seamless and elegant overall...

Janasse 2016 - white wine
It should come as no surprise that the 2016 Chateauneuf du Pape Blanc is a step ahead of its 2015 counterpart. It's at once riper and zestier, fruitier and crisper. The Clairette component really boosts the finish with lime zest. Drink it over the next year or two.

Fonsalette 1996 - red wine
The 1996 Fonsalette Cotes du Rhone boasts a dense ruby/purple color, as well as a chocolatey, blackberry, super-concentrated palate impression, and considerable body. This wine is atypically massive for this vintage. Muscular and structured, with huge fruit and richness, it was made from fully ripened fruit and an extremely late harvest. While it has...

Bosquets 2016 - red wine
91-93/100 : Moving to the Gigondas releases, the classic 2016 Gigondas (60% Grenache, 25% Syrah, 10% Mourvèdre and the balance Cinsault) comes from a mix of estate terroirs and will see 18 months in a mix of barrels, foudre, and demi-muids. It offers terrific notes of black raspberries, caramelized cherries, orange blossom and spice as well as a...

Clos Saint Jean 2016 - vin rouge
92-94 / 100 : Leading off the 2016s, the 2016 Châteauneuf-du-Pape is noticeably darker than any of the 2015s and offers terrific blackcurrants, blackberries, smoked meats and roasted garrigue aromas and flavors. It’s full-bodied, ripe and undeniably sexy, with gorgeous purity of fruit.

Clos Saint Jean Deus Ex Machina 2016 -...
98-100 / 100 : A bigger, richer, more powerful wine, the 2016 Châteauneuf-du-Pape Deus Ex Machina offers a port-like bouquet of melted licorice, ground pepper, cured meats and scorched earth. It literally made my heart rate increase. From 60% Grenache and 40% Mourvèdre brought up all in demi-muid, it’s going to be over the top for some, yet is an...

Clos Saint Jean Combe des Fous 2016 - vin...
97-99 / 100 : The 2016 Châteauneuf-du-Pape Combe des Fous is the classic blend of mostly Grenache mixed with a small amount of Syrah and Vaccarèse. It’s a huge, unctuous effort that packs an incredible amount of blackcurrants, garrigue, pepper and dried flowers into its balanced, elegant, layered personality. It picks up a charcuterie meatiness with time...

Janasse Vieilles Vignes 2007 - red wine
100 / 100 : A bigger, richer, more concentrated wine than the ethereally textured Cuvee Chaupin, the 2007 Chateauneuf du Pape Cuvée Vieilles Vignes is unquestionably one of the wines of the vintage as well as one of the finest Chateauneuf du Papes ever made. Offering notes of cassis, roasted meats, beef blood and licorice, this heavenly 2007 is...

Bosquets Le Plateau Dits 2016 - red wine
94-97 / 100 : A new cuvée made from a parcel selection of old vine Mourvèdre (there are smaller amounts of Syrah, Cinsault, and Grenache) planted on a north-facing, limestone plateau, the 2016 Gigondas Le Plateau sports an inky purple color as well as more black and blue fruits, loads of pepper and garrigue like nuances, full-bodied richness, and a thick,...

Usseglio réserve des 2 frères 2016 - red wine
97-100/100 : Lastly, the 2016 Châteauneuf-du-Pape Reserve des Deux Freres is a barrel selection of 100% Grenache that was fermented with plenty of stems and aged in barrel. It’s a huge, full-bodied beauty offering layers of dark fruits, red wine marinade, toasted spice, hints of toasty oak and graphite. With terrific sweetness, ripe, polished tannin and a...

Usseglio cuvée de mon aieul 2016 - red wine
98-100 / 100 : A wine that’s going to challenge the 2007 and 2010 as the greatest vintage to date, the 2016 Châteauneuf-du-Pape Cuvée de Mon Aïeul is an off the charts Grenache that packs a huge nose of black raspberries, spice, licorice and crushed flowers. Tasting like the essence of this hallowed terroir, with full-bodied richness, building, sweet...

Bosquets La Colline 2016 - red wine
96-100 / 100 : Utterly sensational, and unquestionably one of the top 2-3 wines in the vintage, the 2016 Gigondas La Colline is 100% Grenache that’s from the La Colline lieu-dit which is close to the domain, at an elevation of 350 meters above sea-level. It was mostly destemmed (there are 20% stems), fermented in concrete tanks and aging all in...

Gardine Marie Leoncie 2015 - white wine
The 2015 Marie Léoncie is a seriously rich, concentrated white that's based on 100% Roussanne, aged 15 months in new oak. Fresh, pure, full-bodied and textured, with tons of stone fruits, toasted bread and hints of roasted nuts, it should come together beautifully with a year in bottle and have over a decade of longevity. The 2015 Marie Léoncie is a...

Charvin 2015 - red wine
This tradition-minded producer has turned out a fine 2015 Chateauneuf du Pape. It's entirely whole cluster and 85% Grenache and sees only concrete for its vinification and élevage. The result is perfumed and floral, with stone fruit and cherries demonstrating the ripeness of the fruit. Yet it's also firmly tannic, suggesting some time in the cellar prior...

LA GARDINE RED 2015
One of the top 2015s, the 2015 Châteauneuf du Pape Cuvee Tradition offers fantastic blackberry, plum, pepper and iron-like notes to go with a medium-bodied, beautifully concentrated feel on the palate. Made from 65% Grenache, 15% Mourvedre, 15% Syrah and a splash of Muscardin, it has a seamless texture, notable purity of fruit and a rare level of ripeness...

Vieux Donjon 2004 - red wine
The 2004 Chateauneuf du Pape is similar in style to their 1999 but with more power. A cedary, sweet bouquet of herbes de Provence, roasted meats, kirsch liqueur, resiny notes, and perhaps incense as well, jumps from the glass of this medium to full-bodied, fragrant, savory style of wine. Its tannins are present and persistent but sweet and...

Clos des Papes 2015 - red wine
The 2015 Chateauneuf du Pape is reminiscent of a slightly improved 2005 and has a fresh, classic style with beautiful concentration, notable freshness, first-rate tannin quality, and the classic spice and sweet red and black fruits this cuvee is known for. I suspect this beauty will close down relatively quickly after bottling and take 5-6 years to show...

Gardine 2016 - white wine
The quality at this estate has soared in recent vintages. One of the top whites I was able to taste for this report, the 2016 Châteauneuf du Pape Blanc (which was still in barrel at the time of this tasting) exhibits gorgeous notes of white peach, crushed mint, citrus and hints of tropical fruits. It is made from a blend of 50% Roussanne, 20% Grenache...
