Delicious, tropical fruits and florals, great richness and acidity, even a little nutty. Developed nicely 2 hours after opening, lots of layers — 2 months ago
bone-dry finish mellowed by the ripe-apricot character, plus hints of toast and melted butter. — a month ago

I’ve been so eager to open the 2019 Les Cailloux, the first of a case that I bought a couple of years ago following a visit to C9DP during which I first tried the wine. This is an exemplary wine for the region, predominantly old-vine Grenache with around 30% (I think) other varieties, which is both powerful and pure, striking a lovely balance between a modern, terroir-driven style and the natural rusticity of the appellation. I enjoyed this so much I made no notes, so can’t say much more other than that I’m delighted to have a case of this and would recommend it to anyone interested in fresh, pure and ageworthy examples of Châteauneuf. — 22 days ago
One of the better champagnes I’ve had in a while and I don’t usually like champagnes. — 2 months ago

Quite rich. Drank it young, it would have been better in a few years. Would buy again to see. — 19 days ago
