"The jewel in the Arcane collection, made from century-old Grenache vines"
"Purple in color, with a young and sensational bouquet of crushed flowers, blueberries, blackberries, cured meats, and spices, it strikes the palate with incredible richness, a thick and creamy mid-palate, and ripe but present tannins. It is a singular and exotic beauty that we hope all our readers will enjoy tasting! " (Wine Advocate 2016 - Robert Parker)

Review and opinion by Mr. FABIEN L. Published on 12/31/2024
Flat and lacking in finesse at a very high price. I'm not giving it a 1 because there are no major flaws, but I did wonder.

Note and opinion by Mr. ETIENNE M. Published on 08/05/2024
Excellent but not better (nor more subtle) than the 2016 Papesse, half the price. If I bring it back to QP: 3.5.

Note and opinion by Mr. FREDERIC M. Published on 06/17/2023
I give this rating for the Q/P ratio. I am a fan of Xavier V.'s wines, I have many of them and I have drunk a lot of them, especially in Chateauneuf. The 2010 Pape is disappointing. It's good, of course, but not at that price! It's powerful, it's long, but it doesn't thrill! In this price range, the Janasse vieilles vignes from this vintage, for example, will give you much more pleasure.

FABULOUS AND MORE, LIKE ALL 2010 WINES FROM THE RHÔNE, IT CERTAINLY HAS POTENTIAL FOR THE FUTURE.
