Critical Acclaim

RP92 Robert Parker’s The Wine Advocate 24th Sep 2020

"The 2018 Chateauneuf du Pape is a terrific effort from this variable vintage, loaded with rich, ripe flavors of red and purple raspberries, black cherries and oodles of Provençal herbs. It’s full-bodied and nearly creamy in texture, with silky tannins that make a subtle appearance on the licorice-tinged finish. Looking even more concentrated and structured than last year, it should drink well for at least a decade." (92 pts.)

RP90+ Robert Parker’s The Wine Advocate 30th Aug 2019

"The 2018 Chateauneuf du Pape is only about 75% Grenache, as that variety suffered more from mildew than the others. Raspberries and chocolate appear on the nose of this medium to full-bodied wine, whose tannins are impeccably ripe and silky, finishing clean and precise. It should drink well on release and for the next 7–8 years." (90–92 pts.)

JD92+ Jeb Dunnuck August 16, 2019

"Moving to the reds, the 2018 Châteauneuf Du Pape offers the rounded, seamless style of the vintage as well as textbook notes of kirsch, cassis, spice, and garrigue. It’s a ripe, sexy, beautiful traditional cuvée to drink over the coming 15 years. (Jeb Dunnuck)" (92–94 pts.)

JD93 Jeb Dunnuck October 6, 2020

"Moving to the 2018s, all of which were tasted from bottle, the 2018 Châteauneuf du Pape reveals a ruby/purple hue and is slightly opaque. Based on 85% Grenache and 5% each of Syrah, Mourvèdre, and Cinsault, it offers a gorgeous perfume of black raspberries, herbes de Provence, ground pepper, candied orange, and a touch of spiced meat. Pure class on the palate, with medium to full-bodied richness and ultra-fine tannins, it has terrific balance, a layered, elegant mouthfeel, and a great finish. This is one thrilling base cuvee to enjoy over the coming decade or more. (Jeb Dunnuck)" (93 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.
