Domaine La Célestière - La Croze 2010

Bettane & Desseauve
“The 2010 Châteauneuf-du-Pape La Croze displays an even more intense violet color, as well as a more tannic, structured, and full-bodied style. With its robust power combined with richness, purity, and intensity, the 2010 will need a little time in the cellar but should be drinkable for the next 20 years. ” (Wine Advocate 2012 – Robert Parker)

Wine rated 16/20 (Very good wine)
Rated estate (2015 guide): 2*Stars (A solid, recommendable wine, though slightly more consistent and uniform than the previous vintage)
About the wine:
Full-bodied and creamy, this is a very rich yet fairly subtle wine, with a rich and diverse range of aromas and a finish that remains firm.
About the estate:
The Dalmeran estate, located in the heart of Les Baux-en-Provence, also owns a beautiful vineyard in Châteauneuf-du-Pape and offers a remarkable selection of wines with strong character that deserve to be better known. The Joyce family takes great care in both viticulture and winemaking, and their 2011 vintage is particularly successful.
