Critical Acclaim

RP91+ Robert Parker’s The Wine Advocate 30th Aug 2019

"This is the prettiest version of this cuvée I can remember tasting. As always, the 2017 Chateauneuf du Pape Prestige Tres Vieilles Vignes is a blend of 90% Grenache and 10% Mourvèdre from several sandy lieux-dits, and it will spend around three years in tank prior to bottling. At the moment, it’s showing delicate garrigue notes and kirsch on the nose, ample weight and creamy tannins on the mid-palate, then folds in complex notes of tea and dried spices on the long finish. Promising stuff." (91–93 pts.)

WE94 Wine Enthusiast 3/1/2021

"A blend of Grenache (90%) and Mourvèdre (10%) fermented and matured entirely in stainless steel, this perfumed, blossomy red shines a spotlight on lustrous boysenberry and raspberry flavors. Sourced entirely from sandy soils, it’s full-bodied but oh-so-soft and airy. Fine, feathery tannins make it gorgeous in youth, but it’s concentrated enough to drink well through 2030. (Anna Lee C. Iijima)" (94 pts.)

Rhone

Located along the path of the Rhone River, the Rhone wine region in southeastern France is beautiful and very productive. It's typically divided into two sub-regions, the Northern Rhone and Southern Rhone, and the wines produced in these sub-regions are very different from one another.

The southern Rhone is warm and dry, and produces robust, full-flavored red wines, oftentimes blends with Grenache used as the primary grape. Chateauneuf-du-Pape is without question the most celebrated town for wine production in the Southern Rhone region.

Meanwhile, the Northern Rhone features a cooler climate and steep-sloped vineyards. Syrah is the dominant red grape, and the wines are typically tannic, deeply colored, and highly acidic wines (which leads them to get better with age).

France

The French did not invent winemaking. They simply perfected it. For centuries, France has been producing wines that inspire poetry, awe, and wonder; wines that blur the lines between nature, craftsmanship, cuisine and art. These are the wines that inspired cultures around the globe to follow in France’s footsteps, planting Cabernet Sauvignon, Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, Sauvignon Blanc, Syrah, Grenache, Merlot, Semillon and more.

Yet as often as they are emulated, the magic of their terroirs can never be duplicated. You may taste Cabernet from around the world, but perhaps none as elegant and regal as Bordeaux. You may try Pinot Noir or Chardonnay from various climates, but none with the earth-bound soul and ethereal reach of Burgundy.
