"Châteauneuf's 13 grape varieties!"
"On the first nose, the vanilla and baking spice notes of this 2018 Châteauneuf du Pape Privilège blend with hints of red plums and black olives. Aged in 30% new oak barrels, the wine is full-bodied and supple, with a creamy texture and velvety finish. Drink now and continue for at least 5-7 years." (Wine Advocate) Delivery in wooden case for all orders of 6 bottles of this wine (excluding delivery to relay points).

Expert opinion
Bettane & Desseauve
Rated domain (2020 guide) 3*Stars (High-quality production that sets the standard in its sector)
About the domain :
The association between the owner family and Lavau offers the means to fully exploit this terroir near Mont-Redon. The wines as a whole are of good quality, with some marked ageing in recent vintages.
Guide Hachette des vins
Rated domain (2020 guide) Award-winning wines (Wines from this producer regularly win awards in the guide)
About the domain :
An estate with ancient origins - the Romans installed a legion here, the Princes of Orange their archivist - acquired by Guy Arnaud in 1995. His daughter Bénédicte and her husband Charles Bonnet settled here in 2009, converting their 45 ha of vines to organic farming.

About the wine :
On the first nose, the vanilla and baking spice notes of this Châteauneuf du Pape Privilège 2018 blend with hints of red plums and black olives. Aged in 30% new oak barrels, it's full-bodied and supple, with a creamy texture and velvety finish. Drink now and for at least another 5-7 years.
Wine Enthusiast
Vin noté (guide 2021) 92/100
About the wine :
Aged 12 to 18 months in oak, this Grenache-dominated blend (accented by smaller proportions of Syrah, Mourvèdre and Cinsault) presents concentrated aromas of blackberry jam and dried plum. Voluminous yet freshly balanced, the velvety black fruit flavors are softened by earthy nuances of granite, dried sage and arctic char. Ready now.
James Suckling
Vin noté (guide 2020) 93/100
About the wine :
Aromas and flavors of sweet berries and meat show both balance and intensity. Not overdone. Full-bodied, yet fresh with multi-layered tannins. Earthy and dried fruit aromas come through on the finish.
