Produktinformation

I was blown away by the 2017 Cairanne Maximilien, which might be the finest vintage to date for this cuvée. Sporting a saturated purple color as well as blockbuster notes of ripe black fruits, new leather, crushed rocks, and violets, it hits the palate with full-bodied richness, inte­grated acidity, flawless balance, and a great, great finish. Based on a tank aged blend of 50% Grenache, 35% Mourvèdre, and the rest Syrah, don’t miss a chance to latch onto a few bottles of this beauty. It will knock your socks off over the coming 5-7 years or so. 2019-2026.

The 2017 Cairanne L'Estevenas has indeed turned out to be super. A 50-50 blend of Grenache and Syrah, it shows more of the Syrah side at the moment, with floral notes, peppery spice, black olives and licorice all making appearances on the nose. It's medium to full-bodied, with a supple, creamy feel and a rich, chewy finish. Impressive! Tasted twice (once blind), with consistent notes.

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.

Produktinformation

Richer and more deeply textured than the other cuvées from Charbonnière, 90% of the 2015 Châteauneuf du Pape Cuvée Vieilles Vignes comes from 70- to 100-year-old Grenache vines in La Crau, supplemented by 10% Mourvèdre off 45-year-old vines. It has the same estate signature of red cherries and stone fruit, with just hints of spice on the long, velvety finish. Drink 2020-2030

Produktinformation

Turning to the darker side of the fruit spectrum, the 2016 Châteauneuf du Pape Cuvée Vieilles ­Vignes veers toward black cherries, cola and spice. It's full-bodied, rich and velvety, but it takes a different tack than the more open and charming Les Hautes Brusquières bottling. It should drink well for close to two decades. They're the twins you might've fantasized about, one bright and bubbly, the other brooding and mysterious. And you can have both. Drink 2020-2035

My favorite of the multiple cuvées was the 2015 Châteauneuf du Pape Les Hautes Brusquieres Cuvée Speciale. It's the most floral and expressive of the Charbonnière 2015s, with scents of ­garrigue and violets accenting raspberry and cherry fruit. Full-bodied yet supple, it comes to a finely focused, elegant and lingering finish with no apparent heat. It should drink well for up to 15 years. Drink 2017-2030

A prodigious effort, the 2016 Châteauneuf du Pape Les Hautes Brusquieres Cuvée Speciale was yet to be bottled during my June visit. It ­offers up sweet floral aromas, hints of thyme and rosemary and bold cherry fruit. Full-bodied and creamy-velvety in texture, it's a hugely seductive mouthful of wine that I found difficult to spit. If it emerges from the bottling process looking like this, buyers will have huge smiles on their faces. Drink 2020-2035
