While a late harvest cuvee that’s certainly rich and voluptuous, the 2007 La Ferme du Mont Châteauneuf-du-Pape Vendange is not a dessert wine and shows a classical profile of black cherries and plum sauce styled fruits to go with meat juice, licorice, toasted spice, and roasted herbs that carry into a full-bodied, powerful palate. Concentrated, layered,...
The 2012 Châteauneuf du Pape Prestige is one of the top efforts in this outstanding vintage. Mostly Grenache, with 20% Syrah and 10% Mourvèdre and other permitted varieties, it offers classic black raspberry, cassis, licorice and smoked-meat-like aromas and flavors. Full-bodied, concentrated and with a stacked mid-palate and sweet tannin.
Jeb Dunnuck "More structured than the straight ’09 and showing a more meaty, masculine profile, the 2009 Domaine Bois de Boursan Châteauneuf-du-Pape Cuvée des Félix is a blend of 65% Grenache, 25% Mourvèdre, 5% Syrah, and the remainder an assortment, that’s all aged for 20 months in very old barrels. Smelling like a Provencal market and boasting...
The Châteauneuf Du Pape 2018 showed off well with a deep ruby/purple colour as well as classic Beaucastel aromas and flavours of darker currents, blueberries, smoked meats, black liquorice and grilled herbs. Medium to full-bodied, with a pure, clean and elegant texture, soft tannins and a great finish, this elegant Beaucastel will be accessible in its...
Jeb Dunnuck "Château Maucoil Châteauneuf-du-Pape Privilège 2009 is darker, deeper, and more substantial. This blend of old vines (40% Grenache, 15% Syrah, 12% Mourvèdre, and the rest assorted red and white varietals) is aged 60% in 1 to 2 year old barrels and the rest in concrete. It has a thick, rich but elegant profile, with fresh raspberry and darker...
The 2015 Châteauneuf-du-Pape Colombis is a more open, sexy wine based on very old vine Grenache from the sandy soils of the Colombis, Cristia and Rayas lieux-dits. Framboise, incense, potpourri and floral notes all emerge from this pretty, elegant, complex Grenache that has sweet fruit, polished tannins and a great finish. Like all the 2015s, it's made in...
The atypically Grenache-dominated 1998 Chateauneuf du Pape is fully mature and gives up tons of kirsch, garrigue, licorice and a touch of gaminess in its full-bodied, layered and ripe personality. More rounded and sexy than most vintages, it has no hard edges, plenty of mid-palate depth and a great finish. I see no reason to delay gratification, but it...
Always a powerful wine, the 2009 Domaine Giraud Châteauneuf-du-Pape Les Gallimardes is a rock star in the vintage and is showing every bit as good out of bottle as it did out of tank. A blend of 90% tank aged, very old vine Grenache and 10% barrel aged Syrah, the wine yields straight-up fantastic, classic aromas of red fruits, black currant, licorice,...
Jeb Dunnuck "The 2006 Domaine Giraud Châteauneuf-du-Pape Les Gallimardes shows smoky earth, black cherry and leather notes that are wrapped around a beautiful, mineral driven core. The palate is medium to full bodied with solid structure, notable fine grained tannins, a smooth, rich texture and a long finish. I’d give this a couple years in the cellar and...
Jeb Dunnuck "A fantastic wine, the 2006 Château de Beaucastel Châteauneuf-du-Pape fleshes out with air and displays deep, earthy aromatics of dark fruit, roasted meat, graphite, mushroom and old wood. In the mouth, the wine displays a medium to full bodied, structured personality to go with a fantastic texture, concentrated fruit and a long finish. If...
Huge notes of buttered citrus, exotic flowers, pineapple, honeysuckle, and almond notes all emerge from the 2017 Châteauneuf-du-Pape Roussanne Vieilles Vignes, a rich, yet fresh, elegant, vibrant barrel sample that does everything right. You can't find a wine like this anywhere else in the world, and it’s consistently one of the world’s great white wines.
Even better than the Chateauneuf du Pape Blanc, the richer, more concentrated 2015 Châteauneuf du Pape Roussanne Vieilles Vignes comes from a single parcel of vines located beside the Chateau that were planted in 1909. Full-bodied, rich, gorgeously concentrated and textured, with fabulous notes of orange blossom, buttered citrus, marmalade and honey, it...
