"La Dame Voyageuse 2017 exudes scents of leather, black cherry and dusty earth. It's not as concentrated as Reine des Bois, but it's still full-bodied, with a generous, comely feel and a silky finish. Drink over the next 6-7 years. "(Wine Advocate - Joe Czerwinski) A great Châteauneuf!

Expert opinion

Bettane & Desseauve

Bettane & Desseauve

Domaine rated (guide 2024) 4*Stars (Top-quality producers, the glories of French winegrowing)

About the domain :

The domaine offers expressive wines from the finest crus of the Vaucluse and Gard regions. Everything is done with the utmost respect for the terroirs, with the determination to produce wines worthy of their potential. Madeleine Delorme, accompanied by her daughter Ambre, carry on with great care and determination in the spirit of excellence that is the hallmark of the domaine and this winegrowing family. A superb range of saline, fleshy whites and deep, delicate reds, driven by thirst-quenching tension and fine balance. The domaine's style is increasingly racy and precise. The fourth star is fast approaching.

Guide Hachette des vins

Domaine noté (guide 2024) Award-winning wines (The wines of this producer are regularly awarded by the guide)

About the domain :

Created in 1986 by Francis Delorme and his son Christophe, the 58-hectare estate (certified organic and biodynamic) is spread over 38 parcels and eight communes. Following Christophe's untimely death in 2015, his wife Madeleine and their daughter Ambre took over the reins of the estate. A firm believer in small yields, the Delorme family is equally at home with tavel, lirac, châteauneuf-du-pape and "simple" côtes-du-rhône. Not to be missed.

About the wine:

The 2017 Chateauneuf du Pape La Dame Voyageuse exudes scents of leather, black cherry and dusty earth. It's not as concentrated as the Reine des Bois, but it's still full-bodied, with a generous, comely feel and a silky finish. Drink over the next 6-7 years.
