Dark fruits to tobacco to minty cherry vanilla, complex finish. Solid wine to pair with meats — 6 years ago
Better than I remember from previous bottles. Quite round but still precise, with excellent body and good minerality. Impression of sweetness while still being dry. Nice. — 6 years ago
Young, but tasty. Much more full bodied than 2014. Blackberry with a touch of earth. Tannic with a tart acidity. Almost more cranberry on the finish. Think it needs more time, but good. A Gamay that can last!? — 7 years ago
One of the best balanced and pleasing red blends I've ever had. Would buy again. — 8 years ago
It's got just about as much Brett as I will tolerate, which is not much. But, it's got gobs of fruit and spice. Don't see long term potential but it's quite enjoyable now. — 9 years ago
Biovitis. I've hated the 11s so far. Stewy and alcoholic. And I've tried a few of the good producers. Guignier managed to kill it somehow. Great wine. Nice nose with elegant internal aromatics and nice fruit. Bravo — 11 years ago

Good traditional, grenache based ch9, very light/transparent - with a good flavour of garrigue . Easy going — 5 years ago
Estate had prior succession problems & split into 2 with original Clos L'Eglise (Rouchut family) on one side and Clos L'Eglise-Clinet (Mauléon family)on the other. Clos L'Eglise has a wine-producing tradition spread over several centuries. A blend of 80% Merlot & 20% Cab Franc, 100% new oak, wonderful warm aromas of fruit & spice. Cherry & Strawberry flavors, with notes of cinnamon & nice energetic mouthfeel. Firm tight tannins that are beginning to open but should continue to age well. Put on Must Try list — 6 years ago
A nice, slightly more restrained style of CDP. Lighter red in the glass, not a ton of fruit jumping from the nose. But a nice pretty silky wine, especially at this age. Versatile pairer. — 7 years ago
Young, but in a fresh, lively way for a pretty deep red blend. Second wine of the evening, so lost some nuance. Looking forward to starting with this one. Seems versatile; good value. — 8 years ago
Toasted yellow apples, a snap of super-green quince and green per skin, and good leesy breadth, followed by hints of pine nuts. — 8 years ago
This is my cup of tea. High, yet not harsh acid. Long finish. Transparency is the key quality here. The wine screams of terroir. — 10 years ago
Valentines day sparkler - really nice cremant. Dry mineral backbone with a bit of yeast, stonefruit and jasmine - very floral. Great with triple cream and toast. — 10 years ago
Textbook example of traditional chateauneuf du pape. None of the modern, overripe fruit and excess extraction. — 11 years ago
Holy smokes, this is good. Ripe and almost fat, but then the acidity brings it back. I want scallops, beurre blanc, and a glass of this! — 6 years ago
Really great! Sweet but a touch of dryness and very smooth. Had with caviar & fois gras and a really good match. — 6 years ago
Delicious example of the incredible value to be found in the south of France. 40% Syrah, 40% Grenache and the rest cinsault. Garrigue and blackberry with surprisingly light strawberry notes underneath from the Grenache. For 10 bucks a bottle, just goes to show that if you know where to look there is great value to be had...especially in France — 8 years ago
Bright, tart, and tasty from the Jura. Bit of a meaty nose, but very different to taste. Cranberry; somebody here said underripe red fruit - I'd buy that. Great wine for the price. — 8 years ago
Very smooth, good mix of flavors — 9 years ago

A perfect summer wine. A burst of strawberry in the middle at the top of your mouth — 11 years ago
