99p/JebDunnuck, 96p/Parker, 96p/Spectator.
Dunnuck described the wine as a dream for lovers of classic, flawlessly crafted Châteauneuf-du-Pape. "the best I've ever had from this estate". He highlighted its incredible richness, depth and elegance with a wonderful aroma of peppery herbs, blackberries, garrigue, smoked meat and sandalwood. On the palate, the wine is full-bodied and concentrated, building gradually and is perfectly balanced with exceptional purity, ripe tannins and a long, persistent finish. Dunnuck recommends 2-4 years of bottle aging to reach its full potential, after which it will be enjoyable for over two decades.
A true cult wine from one of the finest vineyards in Chateauneuf du Pape and one of only 2 to receive the rare *** (3 out of 3) as one of only two Neufs in Revue du Vin (the other is Rayas), in addition to of course 5* /5 from Parker etc. The domaine only makes one red cuvée, which in turn surpasses many "micro-cuvées"!
"Lots of body and muscle, but no clumsy juggernaut; real complexity and elegance behind the powerful exterior" -Remington Norman.
The legendary Lucien Michel handed over the reins to his daughter Claire in 2011, who has a background in the cult Napa domain Harlan (whose 2010 received 98+p from Parker). The operation is organic (but the methods have been close for many years). 5 out of 5 stars at Parker: "A great classic". In a good year, only 4000 cases of this wine are made.
Photo shows mother Marie-José and daughter Claire as well as Father and mother + Claire and brother Francois. Winemaker/owner Claire together with Philippe Cambie, the gigantic wine consultant who gives advice here (but he seems VERY busy).
