Domaine La Célestière - Les Domaines 2010

Bettane & Desseauve
“The smoothest, richest, most hedonistic, and most intellectually satisfying of the three vintages is the 2010 Châteauneuf-du-Pape Les Domaines. The luscious aromas of blackberries and kirsch, intertwined with notes of roasted herbs, licorice, and camphor, give way to a superb Châteauneuf-du-Pape—rich, multidimensional, and full-bodied. This demonstrates the dedication of the owners.” (Wine Advocate 2012 – Robert Parker)

Wine rated 15.5/20 (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:
Rich and colorful, with notes of dark fruit; full-bodied and generous on the palate, with a fairly spicy finish and good length.
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.
