Robert Parker

"A new cuvée for this estate, Châteauneuf du Pape 2016 Sélection, composed of 75% Grenache, 15% Syrah and 10% Mourvèdre, from the "Terre Ferme" lieu-dit in Bédarrides. Matured in demi-muid and foudre, it offers seductive aromas of marzipan and spices over scents of roses, ripe cherries and berry fruits. The wine is full-bodied, loaded with lush, beautifully ripe fruit and finishes with great purity and length." (Wine Advocate 2018 - Robert Parker)

Note and review by M. FRANCISCO D. Published on 16/01/2023

A well-structured wine, but it's a pity that the 15 degrees of alcohol are too present and anaesthetize everything.
