Note: RVF 17/20, Gault Millau 16,5/20
"An enchanting nose, with a perfume of great sweetness (orangette and fine chocolate). A well-balanced Châteauneuf, already very open and eager to drink. The tannins are of great finesse, with a magnificent mouthfeel from which emerges a velvety substance. Its persistence augurs well for longevity..." (Les Meilleurs Vins de France 2012 - RVF). Certainly one of Châteauneuf-du-Pape's best value for money!

The best red châteaux neuf du pape I've ever tasted, it was served at my wedding with a duck tournedos, I still think about it.

beautiful fruit, quite greedy, but lacks power and complexity: a simple Chateauneuf, to be drunk within 5 years to appreciate it at its best...

Magnificent Château neuf, self-sufficient: light and at the same time beautifully persistent on the palate, fruity, with a strawberry finish. To discover
