Les Hauts de Barville Châteauneuf-du-Pape Red Rhone Blend 2019

9.2

Grenache based CDP that has some Syrah and Mourvèdre blended in. Dark ruby color with bright garnet highlights. Aromas of red cherry, raspberry and violets. Red berry fruit driven palate also includes notes of red licorice, baking spices and hint of asphalt. Lovely long earthy finish. Brisk acidity, dry and slightly chewy tannins. Very well integrated where the fruit and savory components are harmonious. Appreciate you serving this one, Keith S! — 21 days ago

I like this. Bold nose, some green character. Really approachable, big body, substantial length and a clean acidic finish. I’m surprised by the other Delectable raters negging on this so much. Maybe it’s the age? This has some years. Bought for a deal at Drinxx in The Hague. — 6 years ago

2023 vintage. ‘23’s here already. This CDP blanc checking in at less than half the going rate for many CDP blancs and over-delivering. Slightly oily and vibrant, stone fruit nose mixed with minerals. Such a nice change of pace just in time. Vote for Summer. 6.19.24. — 5 months ago

Quite alcoholic and high toned on the nose with bright plum and Black pepper. On the palate silky, with intense red fruit, sweetness and a hint of burn. Still young and quite hot, but could settle into something interesting. — 6 years ago

Got to read it! Never seen this CNDP.

Tom Casagrande

Very interesting profile in the “Featured” section. I had no idea you were from across the pond. As to this wine, it will soon be nigh impossible to find a CDP that is not too high in alcohol, thanks to our ruining an entire fucking PLANET!

Conrad Green

Sadly too true Tom. Worth getting wines you love now as there’s a danger many could change beyond recognition.

This is actually the "Secret" limited release, not the Domaine. Took awhile to open but did very well. Aged in barrels 18 months, whereas Domaine is 12 and Optimum was 24. — 8 years ago
