Critics Ratings

‘The 2015 Châteauneuf-du-Pape Les Safres is deeper and richer than the base cuvée and possesses terrific notes of black raspberries, blackberry jam, exotic flower, and orange blossom. Full-bodied, polished, elegant and gorgeously pure on the palate, with fine tannin, it's a killer wine. Made from 95% Grenache (the balance is Mourvèdre, Cinsault, and Vaccarèse), it too has a decade and more of prime drinking.’ - Jeb Dunnuck, 94/100 (Oct 2017)

‘Sourced from the lieu-dit of Les Bédines, the 2015 Chateauneuf du Pape Les Safres is almost 100% Grenache. It has the variety's silky tannins but plenty of them, so hold onto your bottles for a few years until the wine comes into balance. Right now, it's clearly got plenty of concentrated red fruit and peppery spice but comes across tight and crisp. 2020-2030’ - Joe Czerwinski, Wine Advocate, 93 (Oct 2017)

‘Named for the compacted sandy soils from where it hails, this wine has a thread of dark, briary blackberry and dark plum fruits. The palate carries deep yet supple tannins. Extremely approachable. Best from 2020.’ - JamesSuckling.com, 93/100 (Aug 2017)
