Produktinformation

A blend of 65% Grenache, 35% Mourvèdre and 5% Syrah, all matured in concrete, the 2017 ­Gigondas les Pigières was singing when I tasted it in June. Garrigue-inflected cherries lead the way, followed by a wine that's full-bodied, intense and concentrated but already harmonious, finishing with silky tannins and great length.

Produktinformation

Powered by outrageously perfumed red berries, stone fruits and garrigue, the 2016 Châteauneuf du Pape Alchimie is 60% Grenache, 16% Syrah and 10% Mourvèdre, with smaller amounts of Clairette Rose, Counoise, Terret Noir and Vaccarèse. Aged in foudre, the fruit and flowers of the region stay at the forefront of this full-bodied beauty. It's complex and plush yet ­retains grip on the long finish. For the folks who bemoan high alcohol levels, this wine weighs in at a declared 14.5% and shows no heat.

Produktinformation

A blend of 50% Mourvèdre, 30% Grenache and 10% each Counoise and Vaccarèse, nearly half of which was fermented and aged in new oak, the 2016 Chateauneuf du Pape Marceau comes solely from the les Terres Blanches lieu-dit. Full-bodied, silky textured, rich and deep, the oak is unobtrusive, subtly framing ripe cherry and apricot fruit, hints of menthol and pencil shavings. This domaine is on fire, with every cuvée different yet worthy of serious attention. 2018-2030.

Produktinformation

As I wrote of the 2015 last year, purists will no doubt detest the fact that this cuvée is predominantly Syrah, and 70% of the cuvée matured in new barriques. The 2016 Chateauneuf du Pape Privilege features scents of cedar, baking spices, cola and dark fruit. It's full-bodied, plush and creamy in texture, with plenty of concentration and richness to support it. Topping it off is a long, lively finish bursting with fresh black cherries and plums. This is New World-ish in its style but terrific nonetheless. 2018-2030.

Produktinformation

The 2016 Chateauneuf du Pape Eternelle is pure Gre­nache from the sandy-safre soils of La Gardiole, vinified and matured exclusively in stainless steel. As befits an ­all-Grenache cuvée, it's perfumed and rose-like on the nose, with delicate tea-like notes accenting black cherry fruit. There's lots of spice on the full-bodied palate, a sexy, silky mouthfeel and a long, ­complex finish that ends with a hint of licorice. I was blown away by all of this estate's 2016s. 2018-2030.
