Châteauneuf-du-Pape White Rhône Blend 2024

Pretty nose of white flowers with citrus fruits.

Medium plus in body with medium acidity.

Dry on the palate with lemons, apples, pears, light earth, herbs and spices.

This is a very tasty white wine from Châteauneuf-du-Pape. Rich and inviting, with a soft mouthfeel. Nicely balanced, complex and elegant.

Still young and needs a few years in the bottle to mature properly, but already enjoyable even by itself. Will continue to age nicely in the next 5 years.

A touch buttry, fresh and easy drinking. A good quality wine, and good by itself or with food.

A blend of 35% Clairette, 35% Grenache Blanc, 15% Roussanne and 15% Bourboulenc. A small production of only 3,000 bottles.

13.5% alcohol by volume.

91 points.

Dark ruby in color with a wide reddish rim.

Nice nose and medium plus in body with medium acidity.

Showing red fruits with light oak, licorice and chocolate notes.

Nice length on the finish with round tannins and tangy cherries.

This is a very tasty 5 year old GSM blend from Lirac. Nicely balanced and elegant, with mild complexity. The high alcohol is well integrated by now.

Easy drinking and good by itself as a sipping wine.

A blend of Grenache, Syrah and Mourvèdre. Aged in concrete tanks and 15% large French oak barrels.

15.5% alcohol by volume.

A captivating, sexy presentation. Tastes like no expense was spared producing this. Great texture and tannic structure suggest this is easily a 20 year example. Finishes plush and sweet — 2 years ago

Cuvée des Félix Châteauneuf-du-Pape Red Rhône Blend 2022

Dark ruby in color with a wide reddish rim, and medium plus intensity.

Pretty nose of raspberries, strawberries, light cedar, earth, herbs and chocolates.

Medium bodied with medium acidity.

Dry on the palate with raspberries, currants, plums, cooked cherries, spices, light oak, chocolates and peppercorn.

Long finish with round tannins and tangy cherries.

This young Grenache based blend from Châteauneuf-du-Pape needs a few years in the bottle to mature properly, but already enjoyable, even by itself.

This great 2022 vintage is starting to drink nicely now. Well structured and nicely balanced, with a great mouthfeel.

Will continue to age nicely in the next 20 years.

Elegant and robust. Rich and fruit forward. Tannic and tangy. Interesting stuff.

A solid budget “Beauj”. This actually tastes like terroir and you can tell the winemaker is trying to not get too involved in the cellar unlike last nights moulin a vent. A lightness and tartness that is quite fun raspberry notes of fruit and a lot of acidity lead to a good drinking wine. Perhaps cherry notes in the middle? The finish isn’t huge but it does linger after swallowing. Actually the nose is quite pretty. Lilac notes? A flower. Highly recommended. The light tartness on the finish might a little much for some people. Maybe air will mellow it. Will buy again.
Edit: after 20 or 30 min of air the tart end integrates and the wine smoothed even more out. This probably deserves a higher rating than 9. Highly recommended
