Tasting note
The top cuvee is the 2013 Châteauneuf du Pape, and it's always a rough blend of 65% Grenache (mostly not destemmed), 15% each of Syrah and Mourvedre, and the rest Cinsault and other permitted varieties. Aged all in foudre, it offers classic rolled-stone-like minerality, spice, licorice and dark fruits to go with medium-bodied richness and depth, integrated acidity and fine tannin. This will be a classic Châteauneuf du Pape that will evolve nicely for 10-15 years. Score - 91-93. (Jeb Dunnuck, robertparker.com, Sept. 20, 2014)
This dry and cherry-red coloured red showcases a complex nose releasing woody, empyreumatic, spicy, floral and fruity scents. You will be charmed with this full-bodied wine revealing a broad texture, fleshy tannins and a long finish.
