A delicious and very complex white blend from Châteauneuf-du-Pape. Rich and fruit forward. Elegant and nicely balanced.

Still young, but already very approachable and drinking beautifully. Will continue to age nicely in the next 15 years.

A great sipping wine that will also pair nicely with food.

A blend of 16% Grenache Blanc, 16% Clairette, 16% Roussanne, 16% Picpoul, 16% Bourboulenc and 16% Picardan. Aged for 6 months on the lees.

14% alcohol by volume.

🍷 The epitome of elegance in Châteauneuf-du-Pape

☝️ This is not your average high octane CNdP rouge. It’s a pristine, beautiful expression from the Le Clos du Caillou.

😆 We were fortunate to visit this family-run estate in the spring, an informative tour led by Marilou Vacheron, who’s helping to lead winemaking for the estate. Un grand merci for your generosity, Marilou!!

🪨 The soil behind Les Quartz are some of the region’s most distinctive, coming from the lieu-dit “Les Cassanets” with sandy soils beneath a layer of quartz-rich pebbles.

👌 This unique soil is known to produce wines of purity, finesse, and lifted aromatics.

🍇 This cuvée is primarily Grenache next to Syrah, harvested by hand, and fermented in oak through the work of native yeast. The Grenache and Syrah were each aged in oak (different vessels) for 14 mos.

👀 The result is concentrated and lifted with blue and black fruits such as blueberry, mulberry, muddled black cherry, next to peppercorn, meat, violets, crushed stone, clove, vanilla, black licorice, cardamom, and earth.

A delicious Grenache based blend from Châteauneuf-du-Pape. Nicely balanced with a nice mouthfeel. Complex and entertaining.

A great vintage in Châteauneuf-du-Pape that will show itself in the future.

Still young and will continue to age nicely in the next 15 years. Showing good potential to become a 94+ point wine.

I've had a few vintages of this wine and it is always delicious.

A great sipping wine that will also pair nicely with food.

A blend of 55% Grenache, 30% Mourvèdre, 10% Syrah, and 5% local varieties. Aged in large French oak barrels for 18 months. Unfiltered and unfined.

14.5% alcohol by volume.

Excellent follow up to the classic 2016 Vintage. Blend of Mourvèdre (30%), Grenache (30%), Syrah (15%), Counoise (10%) and the balance (15%) made up of other approved CDP varietals led by Vaccarese’. Aromas of red and black fruit, garrigue, leather and earth. Flavors of black raspberries, currants and cherries, Asian spices, smoked meat and truffles. Long and lingering (slightly spicy) finish and beautiful balance. Full bodied and dense, but not overpowering. Fine grained tannins and amazing complexity. Great now, but there is another decade (or so) of aging potential. Just incredible. — a month ago

Quintessential. Honey, golden apples, lanolin, and wool. There must be a few grams of RS here. Finish is as long as the day was at our shop. A well deserved reward. Drinking great, but will last and last like the classic it is. — 2 months ago

Sous-bois, macerated fruit, brown spices, dried herbs. Warm, rustic and ripe, this has a lovely syrah/mourvedre soul and excellent balance. Yes, it’s mature and aging, but I’m glad to see that not all 07 Ch9dP’s are falling apart. — 13 days ago

Dark ruby in color with a wide reddish rim.

Fruity nose and medium plus in body with medium acidity.

Dry on the palate with nice complexity.

Showing black cherries, black plums, black currants, light oak, mediterranean spices, light earth, herbs and peppercorn.

Long finish with fine grained tannins and tangy cherries.

This is a delicious Cabernet Sauvignon based Bordeaux blend from Napa Valley. Fruit forward and complex. Elegant and nicely balanced, spicy and entertaining. Feel like a left bank Bordeaux with a touch of Napa.

Still young, but already enjoyable even by itself. Needs a few years in the bottle to mature properly, and will continue to age nicely in the next 15 years. Has good potential to become a 94+ point wine.

Wine Spectator 90 points. Robert Parker 91 points. Wine Enthusiasts 94 points.

A good sipping wine that will also pair nicely with a food.

A blend of 75% Cabernet Sauvignon, 10% Merlot, 6% Cabernet Franc, 5% Malbec and 4% Petit Verdot. Aged for 12 months in (30% new) French oak barrels.

Amazing aromas from the beginning.

Needed airtime to show off.

Only downside was the mid palate and finish. It really fell flat and almost watery. Never really improved.

Double-decanted prior to service. The 1988 pours a garnet color with a near opaque core; medium viscosity with moderate staining of the tears and some fine sediment. On the nose, the wine is vinous with beautiful notes of cassis, brambles, tobacco, capsicum, leather, inorganic earth and a mix of herbs and fine spices. On the palate, the wine is dry with medium+ tannin (integrated) and medium+ acid. Confirming the notes from the nose, the finish is medium+. The label is beat to hell but the condition of the wine inside the bottle was perfect. Classic, old school Bordeaux from a classified growth. Drink now through 2043. — 17 days ago

Dark ruby in color with a wide reddish rim.

Beautiful nose of blueberries, black plums, cherries, spices, dark chocolates, oak, licorice and black pepper.

Medium plus in body with medium acidity.

Dry on the palate with black plums, cooked cherries, herbs, spices, light cedar, earth, chocolates and peppercorn.

Tangy finish with fine grained tannins and raspberries.

This is a delicious GSM blend from Châteauneuf-du-Pape. Elegant and rich. Fruit forward and complex.

This 11 year old, from the great 2015 vintage, is drinking beautifully now, and will continue to age nicely in the next 5 to 7 years.

I've had the 2021 vintage not too long ago, and this one is drinking much better now.

Nicely balanced, and good by itself as a sipping wine or with food.

A blend of mostly Grenache, with Syrah and Mourvedre.
