17.5 / 20""From lieux-dits Esquirons, 3 Coups, Boursan, Mont Redon, Bosquet, Terres Blanches. 75% Grenache, 10% Syrah, 12% Mourvedre, 3 20% spends 12 months in demi muid. 60% spends 12 months in foudre. 20% spends 12 months in concrete. 30,000 bottles. Dark crimson. Cool nose. Energetic, supple fruit. Great spread of flavours on the finish, mainly in the black-fruit mould. Long and well balanced though it is difficult to discern the tannins. Until the very end! Extremely well made wine. Promises well.""

""This isn't the biggest or richest Chateauneuf-du-Pape, but it has soaring aromas of garrigue and cherries, plenty of intensity and a firm structure. It's powerful, long and complex. Drink 2015-2025.""
