Les Choregies Châteauneuf-du-Pape Red Rhone Blend 2015

I’m in the 91+ range here. Had hoped for a more wow experience but this was simply solid and that’s ok. Not all wines need to be stunners.

80 Grenache/ 15 Mourvèdre/ 5 Syrah. Followed from bottle over the course of two hours.

To this wine’s credit, it presented exactly as it should. Warm 2015 vintage type profile which extracts the Grenache (ripe red fruits, sweet spice, little heat) but also accentuates/deepens the garrigue/potpurri profile. Alcohol pokes out a touch on the palate but it’s mostly juicy red berry fruit, little bit of dirty fig, herbal. On the whole, this is a very clean style of CdP that presents with no Brett/funk but also speaks to Grenache (as opposed to being a typical super CdP blend). Drink or hold another 3-5yrs for this window.

L'Oratoire Côtes de Provence Grenache Blend Rosé 2020

Extremely nice blend of rose flavor…not fruity white yet flavorful light red comes through. Highly drinkable for for price. Already ordered more. A GoTo rose we both like. Well done! Nice and dry. Not fruity. Not high in acid taste. Highly drinkable with or without food. We paired it with Chinese and it was great. Would go with most light to medium fare. Great party wine. C13 $20. Definitely buy again. — 4 years ago

Châteauneuf-du-Pape Blanc White Rhone Blend 2019

9.1

The few bottles of CdP Blanc I tasted were all quite good. This is refined and well-crafted as well.

Nose of green apple, lime, peach, hint of honeysuckle. On the palate, it delivers a seamless balance of creaminess and freshness, with limestone mineral and saline thread weaving through. Good length with subtle green notes on the finish.
