Domaine Font de Courtedune

Châteauneuf-du-Pape Red Rhone Blend 2020

Great nose features earthy underbrush, roasted herbs, kirsch, and old barrel scents. Mouthfilling flavors are not too extracted, showing loads of savory notes and lots of iodine-tinged minerality. Tannins are soft initially but poke through in the back half of the palate, as does the peppery heat of the alcohol (15%). Acids are on the low-ish side. Finish is clingy and long. As a matter of personal principle, I usually decline to buy wines that are 15% or more, but I got this from Garagiste, which didn’t state the alcohol content, and I clicked purchase before checking. Still, pretty good. — 2 months ago

Good principle. There are always exceptions that make happy. 👌

Domaine Font de Michelle

Châteauneuf-du-Pape Red Rhone Blend 2016

Nose has deep blackberry fruit and a bit of garrigue-y earthy notes, a little iodine. Deeply rich in the mouth. The fruit has a very slight pruny element but does not detract. In the finish, however, the peppery heat of the alcohol (only a stated 14.5%) makes a prominent appearance. Long. — 7 months ago
