Bettane & Desseauve
"The sweetest, richest, most hedonistic and intellectually flattering of the 3 cuvées is the 2010 Châteauneuf-du-Pâpe Les Domaines. Gourmet blackberry and kirsch aromas intertwined with roasted herbs, licorice and camphor are followed by a super Châteauneuf-du-Pape, rich, multidimensional and full-bodied. This proves the seriousness of the owners' work." (Wine Advocate 2012 - Robert Parker)

Expert opinion
Bettane & Desseauve
Rated 15.5/20 (Very good wine)
Domaine rated (2015 guide) 2*Stars (A serious and recommendable production, but a little more regular and homogeneous than the previous one)
About the wine:
Fat and colorful, black fruits, fleshy and generous on the palate, quite spicy maturity on the finish, good length.
About the domain :
Domaine Dalmeran, in the heart of Les Baux in Provence, also has a lovely vineyard in Châteauneuf-du-Pape, and offers a remarkable range of wines with strong personalities that deserve to be better known. The Joyce family takes great care over viticulture and vinification, and has been particularly successful with their 2011s.
