V. good. But, oddly, I liked their cotes du rhône better. This wine is so dense as to be a bit of a chore to drink. Sweet fruit. It has all that a good chateauneuf should have but just too much.

This wine is done all in tank. Fruit, spice, rocks. Showing a spot of alc. Going to go well with langoustines
and kale salad. 2011 CdPs are so friendly now. Great restaurant vintage.

100% Grenache bottling. A bit on the syrupy side but tasty.

2017: Well-rated, very good CDP that features darker stewed fruit flavors and a good amount of port and earth nuances. While it suffers a typical CDP lack of acidity and vibrancy at this stage the fruit concentration makes this an above-average bottling and complements the growing complexity. Good value at $52 (VR).

Acidity smoothed out with breathing. Strong plum. Made in steel instead of oak.
