La Bernardine Châteauneuf-du-Pape Red Rhone Blend 2022

Sitting in Prague with my wife loving this red wine. It’s been warm and we have been drinking much more white wine than we typically do. Nice to get back to a delicious red wine. I recommend this wine. Do not get it by the glass, get a bottle. — a month ago

Château La Nerthe

Châteauneuf-du-Pape Red Rhone Blend 2007

This was a real finding in the Ritz restaurant at South Beach. Old vintage with all the bells and whistles. Cork was a bit problematic to take off but wine was pristine. Starting to show some secondary notes and all the garrigue you can ask for. — 18 days ago

Château Rayas

Réservé Châteauneuf-du-Pape Grenache Blend 2005

I’ve been fortunate to consume several bottles of this legend. However, this was the first bottle that did not have me babbling to my dinner guests. All the Rayas traits; elegance , pure fruit , spice were present just not oversized. — a month ago

Domaine du Pegau

Cuvée Réservé Châteauneuf-du-Pape Red Rhone Blend 2021

Ruby in color with a wide reddish rim.

Nose of red and black fruits with light wood, tobacco and chocolate notes.

Dry on the palate with sweet raspberries, cherries, light oak, licorice, chocolates, spices and earth.

Long finish with fine grained tannins and tangy cherries.

This young Grenache blend is starting to drink very nicely now, with nice complexity and a soft mouthfeel.

Will continue to age nicely in the next 15 years.

Elegant and rich. Interesting and engaging. A very traditional Châteauneuf-du-Pape in style.

Well balanced and good by itself as a sipping wine. Will also pair nicely with food.

A blend of all 13 allowed grapes in Châteauneuf-du-Pape, but mostly Grenache. Hand picked and whole cluster. Aged for 2 years in large French oak barrels.

14.5% alcohol by volume.

91 points.

$110.

Domaine Pierre Usseglio & Fils

Châteauneuf-du-Pape Red Rhone Blend 2001

This shows some barnyard, horsey notes up front, likely Brett, but for more Brett-tolerant folks like me, it’s the lovely fresh redfruits underneath and crisp and lively acidity, together with the lingering finish, that make this a lovely CdP!! But I would note for those who are very Brett-intolerant, you may not care for it at all. — 16 days ago
