Critics Ratings

‘A wine with playful, attractive character. An array of red, blue and purple fruits. Gently spicy, chalky and fragrant, it has a very supple, fleshy and layered palate with a web of fine, smooth and supple tannins. Extremely elegant and composed. A long draw on the finish. Great depth and drive. This will live super long. Try after 2020.’ - James Suckling

‘The flagship wine, the 2015 Chateauneuf du Pape, is a blend of 60% Grenache, 20% Mourvèdre, 15% Syrah and 5% other permitted varieties. It features delicate floral scents and ample cherry and licorice aromas. Somehow, it manages to be full-bodied and almost creamy in texture but without much weight, then it ends powerfully, with a flourish of rich Mexican chocolate on the long, silky finish. It should drink well for up to 20 years.’ - Joe Czerwinski 94/100, (Oct 2017)

‘Relatively pale ruby. Sweet, mellow and unforced with strong animal/gamey notes. Old-fashioned Châteauneuf! And none the worse for it with some strawberry notes. Warm strawberry juice rather than strawberry jam. A tiny bit of freshness on the end.’ - Jancis Robinson – Jancisrobinson.com, 16.5/20, (Nov 2016)
