Domaine Jean Royer got the '13 right. This is a very drinkable wine from the first pour. The nose reveals a young wine with lots of Grenache and some Syrah in a supporting role. I don't find Mourvèdre. The fruit is primary, yet savory. Black pepper notes come out after 30 minutes. This isn't one of the great CdP makers, but certainly they are consistent. Consider this wine if you are exposing drinkers to the southern Rhône for the first time.

Very glad I got the last little sip out of this bottle. It has been a while since I have had a quality CndP.

My falling out of love with Chateauneuf isn't helped by this CdP I bought from Garagiste & bit taken back they offered it. 16% alc ripe red jam. A cocktail wine, nothing I care for. The Parker/WS era can't leave this region fast enough.

Gorgeous and big wine. Dark fruit and forest floor. Decant this wine. Pair with red meats, pepperoni

1/2. Did a tasting of 2 distinctly different CdP's. This wine which was a predominant Grenache CdP showed much lighter in the glass but had nice floral notes and plenty of blackberry and currants. Very drinkable and held up nicely to its bottle age.

Big, Jammy, 15 CdP. It is what it is, which fortunately was what our moods called for.
