Out of balance and unpleasant finish. Drinkable, but very disappointing. Maybe I waited too long? (449 views) | | Tasted by thehaughleydrinker on 6/8/2021 & rated 92 points: Delicious (592 views) | | Tasted by Cohn Man on 6/27/2020 & rated 89 points: I don’t see it holding up much longer. Drink now. (975 views) | | Tasted by Ianjaig on 10/19/2019 & rated 91 points: In a great drinking window. Blueberries dominate. Soft, luscious, almost Pinot like. Very refined and pleasant. (1328 views) | | Tasted by weinmatt on 10/11/2019 & rated 91 points: No time to ponder. But it was nice. (1271 views) | | Tasted by Stanrocks on 10/4/2018: tasting Day and visit throughout Rhone Valley, north to south...: No marks here, tasted it at the Viandea shop in Chateauneuf du Pape, along other few... Nose of meat and game, quite closed, good fruit and elegance on the palate, looks nice now, drinkable, needs more air to develop. (1123 views) | | Tasted by dthompson on 9/1/2018 & rated 90 points: First of 6 bottles. The wine is very powerful. We had 2 persons drinking the wine. One person loved it and the other (me) felt the grenache dominated the wine, and not in a good way fro my taste. I have 5 more bottles and will wait several years before trying another.

AOC Red Châteauneuf du Pape Cuvée Hautes Brusquières
Grape varieties : This cuvee is made up of Grenache (70%) and Syrah (30%) The vines are between 30 to 50 years old. Situation and soil type : All the grapes come from the Brusquières plateau, in the north of Châteauneuf du Pape, where we can find the famous round pebbles and a clayey subsoil Vats : Wood and stainless steel with temperature control
Vatting : Since 2000, we have decided to destem and to crush all grapes Vatting lasts 3 to 5 weeks, depending on the vintage at a temperature between 25 and 30°C A release or a punching of the cap is done every 2 days and pumping over every day. The malolactic fermentation happens in barrels and vats. Ageing : Ageing continues in barrels and big oak tanks during 12 – 18 months depending on the vintage. Tasting : This is an atypical cuvee in terms of its complexity of aromas: deep spice, black fruit flavors and chocolate notes are overlaid with leather and a wild complexity. This complex nectar needs a long cellaring to 15 years from vintage. Further information: The cuvee bottled without filtration is stocked in our warehouse air-conditioned at 16°C.
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
