Château de Vaudieu
Châteauneuf-du-Pape Red Rhone Blend
A blend of 60% Grenache, 10% Mourvèdre and 30% Syrah. Deep Ruby with aromas of sweet black fruits and earthy herb spice. On the palate complex flavors of cherry and blackberry, with oak notes, leather and forest spice. Full body, well balanced, fine tannins on a long finish, ending with a bit of spice, perfect now. Very Nice.

Feb 25th, 2021Really ripe and don’t think it will ever settle down. Cranberry sauce, plums, and olives. It’s too fruit forward and little hot for me, but not bad with food.

Dec 28th, 2017Philippe Cambie makes some great stuff and for $30, this is right up with the best. I'm always a fan of vaudieu and this 2013 is tops in a tough vintage.

Jul 7th, 2017Asleep and closed when I tasted. Strawberry and cherry confiture laced with black licorice and medicinal herbs. Almost cough syrup-like but just in need of a decant. From what I can tell this is a solid CNDP with charm and layers that need breathing room. Want to taste again.
