ESTATE PRICE! From almost 60-year-old Cinsault vines planted on a sandy site, the 2020 Vin de France Le Peche Originel Sans Soufre Ajoute was made entirely in concrete.

ESTATE PRICE! The 2019 Châteauneuf Du Pape looks terrific and will be a solid buy.

PRIX DOMAINE! Coming all from very old vine Grenache and brought up in tank, the 2019 Châteauneuf Du Pape Cuvée Imperiale offers a smoking bouquet of vivid black raspberry and cassis intermixed with lots of flowery incense, licorice, and spring flowers.

ESTATE PRICE! The Châteauneuf Du Pape La Part Des Anges 2018, dominated by Mourvèdre, was entirely destemmed and spent 16 months in 80% new barrels, the rest in concrete vats.

ESTATE PRICE! Also terrific, the 2018 Châteauneuf Du Pape Pure Clairette (equal amounts Clairette Rose and Clairette) offers a medium to full-bodied, clean, balanced style that carries terrific notes of citrus blossom, honeyed minerality, and white flowers.
