Bettane & Desseauve
"The sweetest, richest, most indulgent, and most intellectually satisfying of the three vintages is the 2010 Châteauneuf-du-Pape Les Domaines. The luscious aromas of blackberries and kirsch, interwoven with roasted herbs, licorice, and camphor, give way to a superb Châteauneuf-du-Pape—rich, multidimensional, and full-bodied. This demonstrates the owners’ dedication to their craft.” (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 slightly spicy finish and good length.
About the estate:
The Dalmeran estate, located in the heart of Les Baux-de-Provence, also owns a beautiful vineyard in Châteauneuf-du-Pape and offers a remarkable range of wines with strong character that deserve to be better known. The Joyce family oversees both viticulture and winemaking, and their 2011 vintage is particularly successful.
