"A mouthwatering aroma of raspberry and blackcurrant!"
"Its deep purple color offers a magnificent aroma of black raspberry, blackcurrant, graphite, and subtly spiced wood. This pure, medium-bodied to full-bodied Châteauneuf, elegant and incredibly refined, has beautiful tannins, a structured and balanced palate, and an excellent finish." (Jeb Dunnuck 2022).

About the estate:
The Château de Vaudieu, built in 1767 by Admiral Gérin, lieutenant of the Marseille admiralty, is one of three 18th-century châteaux in Châteauneuf-du-Pape. The "Val de Dieu" (Valley of God), which gave rise to "Vaudieu," now covers 70 hectares, restored under the leadership of Gabriel and Juliette Meffre, leading wine merchants in Gigondas. In 1987, their daughter Sylvette Bréchet took over, joined in 1990 by her son Laurent, who undertook renovation work on the winery to facilitate plot-by-plot vinification. The latest vintages have been very successful, with a precise and powerful style, in both white and red. Watch this space!
Robert Parker - Wine Advocate
Wine rating (2023 guide) 93/100 (Outstanding wine)
About wine:
With a little more concentration and complexity than the regular cuvée, the 2021 Châteauneuf du Pape Val de Dieu reveals aromas of sun-warmed stones, dried spices, pencil shavings, black olives, and black cherries. Medium-bodied to full-bodied, it is silky to the touch, with taut, juicy acidity on the finish.
Wine Spectator
Wine rated 92/100 (Exceptional wine)
About wine:
A juicy, flattering style that begins with elements of black cherry paste and licorice, which quickly unite with firm tannins and toasted oak. Burnt thyme is in the background, with accents of black licorice and smoke. Structured and well-integrated finish.
