A legacy CdP from the collection. Haven’t had in many years - with the age it’s certainly nice. Though, quite full bodied and somehow still somewhat austere, and with not enough acid to really keep it all refined. Nice enough with skirt steak on the grill. — 8 months ago
This is a very good value for a classic GSM Châteauneuf-du-Pape. Well balanced, with good acidity, plush tannins and bright red (strawberry, red currant) and black fruit (blackberry, black cherry). There is already a welcome note of garrigue (wild thyme and lavender) and a hint of leather. What prevents it from scoring higher is a medium finish from toned-down intensity. For that added level you need to go for the top-tier (and excellent) Les Cailloux! — a year ago

Woah. Beautiful wine. Very elegant. Surprised! — 2 months ago
GOSH this blend of Roussanne, Clairette and Grenache Blanc makes for a poised, silky and aromatic but elegant bottle I’d imagine paying twice as much for. The nose promises stone fruit and incense adventure, while the palate is cozy, adding warming spice, lanolin and honeydew melon, along side hints of wet stone to keep it all fresh. J’adore, je affor(d). — 5 months ago

Deep inky in color with a short brick rim.
Earthy nose with black fruits, forest floor, tobacco leaf, herbs, earth and black pepper.
Medium plus in body with medium acidity.
Dry on the palate with black currants, cooked plums, ripe cherries, spices, dark chocolates, coffee, black pepper, herbs and light vegetables.
Long finish with fine grained tannins and tangy raspberries.
This 24 year old GSM blend from Châteauneuf-du-Pape is still drinking beautifully, although definitely not in its peak anymore.
Still shows enough fruits, with lots of earth notes. So complex and interesting, with a very complex nose. Loved smelling on it for a while.
Good by itself or with food. I love trying these kind of aged wines.
A blend of equal amounts of Grenache, Mourvèdre and Syrah, from over 65 year old vines. Aged for 12 months in large oak barrels.
