Robert Parker

“A new vintage from this estate, the 2016 Châteauneuf-du-Pape Sélection, is a blend of 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 seductive aromas of marzipan and spices over 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)

Review by Mr. FRANCISCO D. Posted on January 16, 2023

A well-structured wine, but it’s a shame that the 15% alcohol content is too pronounced and overpowers everything.
