An amazing base wine, the 2015 Face à Face Châteauneuf-du-Pape is a blend of Grenache, Syrah and Mourvèdre. He has soaring aromatics of incense, bakers spice, licorice, grilled meat and toasted bread that are mixed with perfumed red fruits. The palate is full bodied, silky smooth, balanced and long with fine grained tannins adding edge and precision.
Jeb Dunnuck "The classic 2016 Châteauneuf-du-Pape checks in at around 75% Grenache, 10% each of Syrah and Mourvèdre, and a splash of Cinsault. This rock star traditional cuvée gives up loads of black licorice, garrigue, black raspberries, and kirsch liqueur.

Jeb Dunnuck "Full-bodied, velvety and dense, the 2016 Chateauneuf du Pape Excellence Pie VI is a blend of 60% Syrah and 40% Grenache. Plummy and chocolaty, it's almost fudge-like and will likely mature quite quickly."

This big,...
Châteauneuf du Pape Signature 2016 is a blend of 62% Grenache, 18% Mourvèdre, 12% Syrah, 6% Cinsault and 2% other varieties. It is full-bodied and intense yet silky, offering wonderful and complex notes of cherries, raspberries and a range of spices and dried herbs.
Jeb Dunnuck "Incredibly perfumed and complex, the 2016 Châteauneuf-du-Pape Reserve Auguste Favier has put on weight since I tasted it as a barrel sample and offers full-bodied notes of currants, Asian spices, dried flowers, and lavender. It's powerful, concentrated and layered, yet always light on its feet and beautifully balanced, with a seamless,...
