Châteauneuf du Pape La Dame Voyageuse 2021 is a considerable achievement, given the difficulties of the vintage. It is composed of 90% Grenache, but its fruit profile is perhaps a little redder than usual, with notes of cherry, raspberry, and strawberry. It is medium-bodied to full-bodied, taut and crisp, but with silky tannins on the finish." (Wine Advocate 2023). A great Châteauneuf!

Wine rated 93/100
Rated estate (2024 guide) 4 stars (Producers of very high quality, those who are the pride of French vineyards)
About the estate:
The estate offers expressive wines from the finest vineyards in Vaucluse and Gard. Everything is done with the utmost respect for the terroirs, with the aim of producing wines that live up to their potential. Madeleine Delorme, accompanied by her daughter Ambre, continues to work with great care and determination in the spirit of excellence that characterizes the estate and this winegrowing family. A superb range of salty, full-bodied whites and deep, delicate reds, enlivened by a thirst-quenching tension and a perfectly balanced structure. The estate is moving towards increasingly racy and precise wines. The fourth star is fast approaching.

About wine:
On the nose, this cuvée evokes cloves and thyme. Full-bodied and fleshy on the palate, it reveals a delicious fruitiness of Burlat cherries, enveloped in firm, sappy tannins that prolong the finish and promise wonderful sensations after a few years in the cellar.
About the estate:
Created in 1986 by Francis Delorme and his son Christophe, the 58-hectare estate (certified organic and biodynamic) is spread over 38 plots and eight communes. Following Christophe's untimely death in 2015, his wife Madeleine and their daughter Ambre took over the reins of the estate. Advocates of low yields, the Delormes produce vintages with disconcerting ease, whether in Tavel, their original stronghold, Lirac, Châteauneuf-du-Pape, or "simple" Côtes-du-Rhône. Unmissable.
