Domain : Rotem and Mounir Saouma This is our "no man's land" or in French "terre sans homme". Here man does not intervene. The grapes live one year in jars, without any addition or human intervention, in the permeable clay, not waxed. Followed by a light pressing and bottling... The Inopia cuvée has a majority of grenache and syrah conferring suppleness...
ESTATE PRICE More cassis, morello cherry, Asian spice, and a beautiful sense of minerality and loamy earth emerge from the 2019 Châteauneuf Du Pape Les Trois Sources, a full-bodied, concentrated blend of 60% Grenache, 15% each of Cinsault and Syrah, and the balance Mourvèdre. Coming all from the estate’s sandy soils in the northern part of the...
ESTATE PRICE Leading off the three Châteauneuf du Pape releases, the 2020 Châteauneuf du Pape Les Trois Sources comes from three different terroirs located in the northern part of the appellation, just across the street from the domaine. Roasted Provençal garrigue, black licorice, black raspberries, Asian spices, and a hint of cassis all define the...
ESTATE PRICE The 2019 Châteauneuf Du Pape Les Hauts-Lieux includes slightly more Mourvèdre and comes from a cooler parcel in the northern part of the appellation. It has another level of purity and precision compared to the Trois Sources and has extraordinary notes of blueberries, cassis, black licorice, violets, and crushed stone-like minerality....
ESTATE PRICE! J. DUNNUCK : The 2020 Châteauneuf du Pape Les Hauts-Lieux comes from a cooler, higher elevation parcel and also includes slightly more Mourvedre, both of which give this cuvée a more firm, structured profile, especially in its youth. Awesome red, blue, and black fruits as well as black licorice, liquid violet, and peppery garrigue define...
the 1998 Domaine de la Mordorée Châteauneuf-du-Pape Cuvée de la Reine des Bois is borderline perfection and can easily stand toe to toe with the ’01. Yielding extraordinary aromas of blackberry and cassis fruit that’s supported by graphite, new leather, licorice, and garrigue, the wine is still youthful and primary on the nose, yet oozes class and...
This bottle is produced in a limited edition of 450 bottles and 60 magnums (60 bottles will be kept by the estate in their wine library). The 2019 Not For You is 100% Grenache from 100+ year old vines in Les Serres that is aged in a new 500 liter demi-muid. It's a monster wine that offers an array of red and black fruits, peppery garrigue, lavender,...
ESTATE PRICE! J. DUNNUCK : the 2020 Châteauneuf du Pape Reserve is probably the wine of the vintage. You're not going to find a richer, more concentrated wine out there, especially one that's also flawlessly balanced and as seamless as they come. Almost all Grenache from a single parcel of sandy soils, brought up in foudre, its dense purple hue is...
In a completely different style, the more blockbuster, masculine style 2017 Côte Rôtie La Landonne sports a dense purple hue as well as quintessential Landonne notes of smoked meats, black fruits, scorched earth, and chocolate. Pure, focused, and remarkably delineated on the nose, it’s full-bodied and incredibly concentrated on the palate, with building...
I was blown away by the 2019 Côte Rôtie La Turque, which comes from a tiny parcel in the Côte Brune and is fermented with a touch of Viognier as well as a small amount of stems. It too has a smoky, meaty, gamey profile as well as full-bodied richness and tons of mid-palate depth and concentration. It's another serious 2019 with structure to spare,...
