The saturated purple-hued Chteauneuf Du Pape Cuve De La Reine Des Bois is another brilliant wine from this estate. Made from 80% Grenache, 10% Mourvdre, and 5% Syrah and Vaccarse (as well as a few other varieties) brought up in 80% stainless steel and 20% old barrels, it offers an extraordinary bouquet of blackcurrants, chocolaty herbs, ground pepper, and graphite. Deep, rich, full-bodied, and concentrated, it stays pure and flawlessly balanced on the palate, with silky tannins. We love everything about this wine.

  A second consecutive winner from this fine estate, the 2017 Chateauneuf du Pape is 66% Grenache, 15% Syrah, 10% Mourvdre, 6% Cinsault and 3% of the other permitted varieties. Grilled red plums lead off, fleshed out by other ripe stone fruits. Full-bodied and plush, it’s creamy in texture through the mid-palate, then long and silky on the finish, where it picks up hints of Asian five spice powder.
