Domaine de Reveirolles - Châteauneuf du Pape Cuvée Sélection 2016
95/100
Robert Parker
“A new vintage for this estate, the 2016 Châteauneuf-du-Pape Sélection, blended from 75% Grenache, 15% Syrah, and 10% Mourvèdre, sourced from the “Terre Ferme” vineyard in Bédarrides. Aged in demi-muids and large oak casks, it offers enticing aromas of marzipan and spices against notes of roses, ripe cherries, and berries. The wine is full-bodied, bursting with lush, beautifully ripe fruit, and finishes with great purity and length.” (Wine Advocate 2018 – Robert Parker)
