Domaine de Galuval - Châteauneuf-du-Pape Cuvée Emile 2009
Note: RVF 17/20, Gault Millau 16.5/20
“A captivating nose with a wonderfully smooth aroma (orange peel and fine chocolate). A well-balanced Châteauneuf, already very open, that you’ll want to drink right away. The tannins are exceptionally refined, with a magnificent mouthfeel that reveals a velvety texture. Its lingering finish suggests good aging potential.” (Les Meilleurs Vins de France 2012 - RVF). Certainly one of the best values in Châteauneuf-du-Pape!

A nice bottle. It lacks a bit of finesse but is rich and full-bodied.

Bottle that appears to be oxidized; lacks character.

Review by Mr. FRANCK L. Published on November 8, 2013
The best new wine from the "Red Pope" that I've ever tasted—it was served at my wedding with a duck tournedos, and I still think about it.

Review by Mr. CHRISTOPHE J. Published on April 24, 2013
Beautiful fruit, quite rich, but lacking in intensity and complexity: a simple Châteauneuf, best enjoyed within 5 years to appreciate it fully...

Review by Mr. ANTHONY C. Posted on February 22, 2013
A magnificent, fresh Château that stands on its own: light yet with a lovely lingering finish, fruity, with notes of strawberry on the finish. A must-try
