| Community Tasting Notes (average 89.6 pts. and median of 90 pts. in 30 notes) - hiding notes with no text | | | Tasted by JCherniak on 1/28/2023 & rated 90 points: Deep garnet. Nose of anise and a bit of honey. Tarte on the tongue with lots of anise and some plum in the background. I wouldn’t leave it longer. (395 views) | | | Tasted by Shiv K on 6/30/2022 & rated 91 points: Still youngish. Could have gone a few more years. (621 views) | | | Tasted by stayhappy21 on 7/9/2020 & rated 88 points: Brought this to The French Ladle yesterday with 2 close friends from the university days. Drank alongside the 2013 Château La Fleur de Boüard.
Bright purple in colour with rich floral and plum notes. Vibrant, youthful and dances like a graceful ballerina. May have consumed this a tat early and would have liked to see how this would develop over the next 10 to 15 years. (1536 views) | | | Tasted by PSPatrick on 8/6/2019 & rated 90 points: Medium- to dark ruby colour. Ripe red and dark berries, joined by red cherry, fig, herbal notes, pastille, spices, liquorice, a hint of chocolate and smoky mineral notes, with good acidity, firm, fine tannin and good length. The medium-bodied wine needed some aeration, but then became firm, complex, dense and well-balanced. Good. Good value in CdP terms. Drink or hold. (1973 views) | | | Tasted by vinelouse on 3/31/2019 & rated 90 points: In the perfect drinking window right now. Well balanced and pleasing. Good entry level CdP. (2115 views) | | | Tasted by Ruprect on 10/7/2018 & rated 89 points: Enjoyed over thanksgiving with G&G and K&P
Very smooth. Bit of tannin. Cherry after taste. Great nose (2173 views) | | | Tasted by pilatus88 on 10/17/2016 & rated 89 points: This wine is not very complex and feels a bit average among Chateauneuf. Rather mellow red fruit with some acidity and freshness. Spicy and pleasant finish, but lacking the long lasting impression. Definitely a good wine that drinks very well, but i still feel something is missing to elevate the score. (3721 views) | | | Tasted by Motz on 6/14/2016 & rated 90 points: Bright red fruit and berry flavors, along with lavender, rosemary, savory, and minerals. Juicy mouthfeel, substantive back and finish. (3445 views) | | | Tasted by pipetree on 12/14/2015: At a tasting: Meaty at first, more close than the first two, sweet candy and a hint of cigarette. Supple attack, licorice in the mid-palate and aftertaste and eucalyptus as well. Said a classic vintage with feminine and freshness. (2973 views) | | | Tasted by Mhubbard on 11/15/2015 & rated 90 points: Very nice Perrin rhone, a good balance of fruity and savoury. With cherry, cranberry, peppercorn, green tea, and a light touch of oak. Medium-full bodied, nice acid, round tannins that are still a bit grippy, this needs to breathe a bit before drinking. Decent length, very nice. (3117 views) | | | Tasted by jmcmchi on 9/8/2015 & rated 88 points: Grenache dominates nose
Soft initial mouth feel with lots of spice and pepper (2928 views) | | | Tasted by Nicholas81 on 7/11/2015 & rated 85 points: The wine was pretty lacklustre, unexciting and not too complex. The palate had slightly sweet cherries and raspberries but the whole mouthfeel was slightly muted and somehow quite blunt. On a brighter note, the wine is quite feminine and had a somewhat balance structure a good pairing of acidity and tannins. But the wine was slightly uninteresting. Well made BUT boring. A safe wine to drink. You could certainly do much worse regarding Chateauneufs. (1714 views) | | | Tasted by pidy on 4/7/2015 & rated 88 points: Not the worst of CdP I have tasted. More feminin than most. Not too big and complex, medium body, medium acidity, sits fairly long. A hint of oak and warm sweet fruit. Not bad. 87-89 (1704 views) | | | Only displaying the 25 most recent notes - click to see all notes for this wine... |

Producer Location (Google Maps)Red Rhone Blend Read about the different grapes used to produce red and white Rhone wines
On CellarTracker, Red Rhone Blend is the term for a wine consisting of two or more of the traditional 13 Southern Rhone grape varieties. Typically it's the Grenache, Syrah, Mourvedre or Cinsault grapes, but can also contain the Muscardin, Counoise, Clairette, Bourboulenc, Picpoul, Roussanne, Terret Noir, Picardan or Vaccarese grapes.
A 'food' wine. Lacking pretension and intended for local consumption with local cuisine. Lacks the 'high' notes on a Bordeaux, more earthy and sharper so often a better partner to meat dishes with a sauce.

"As I have written many times in the past, the sweet spot for drinking Châteauneuf du Papes is usually the first 5-6 years after the vintage. Then they seem to go through an adolescent, awkward, and sometimes dormant stage, only to re-emerge around year 10-12, where the majority of wines are often fully mature. The best of them will continue to hold on to life (but rarely improving) beyond 15-20 years. It is only the exceptional Châteauneuf du Papes that will evolve for 20-25+ years, and those are indeed a rarity. However, things may be improving dramatically in terms of the longevity of Châteauneuf du Pape, although Grenache-dominated wines, the vast majority of wines produced in the appellation, are wines that do not have the polyphenol (extract and tannin) content of top Cabernet Sauvignons, Merlots, or Syrah-based wines. Nevertheless, the younger generation in Châteauneuf du Pape has taken seriously the farming in the vineyards. There are more organic and biodynamically run vineyards here than in any other appellation of France. The yields, which were already low, are even lower today (20-35 hectoliters per hectare), and of course, the proliferation of top luxury and/or old-vine cuvées gives a significant boost to the number of wines that will evolve past 25 or 30 years. The advantage of these wines is their broad window of drinkability." - Robert Parker
