Collection includes:
1 x Domaine Grand Veneur Cotes du Rhone les Champauvins 2015
Awarded 92/100 Points: Robert Parker, RobertParker.com, The Wine Advocate
Deeper in color than the Cotes du Rhone Reserve, the 2015 Cotes du Rhone les Champauvins is a solid step up, with fabulously complex notes of big cherry, blueberries, raspberries, spring flowers and pepper all emerging from the glass. Medium to full-bodied, rich and beautifully textured, it tastes more like a Chateauneuf du Pape than a Cotes du Rhone. Drink it anytime over the coming 4-5 years.
1 x Clos du Caillou Côtes du Rhône 'Reserve' 2015
Awarded 94/100 Points: Jeb Dunnuck, RobertParker.com, The Wine Advocate
Awarded 91/100 Points: Wine Spectator Magazine
The top Côtes du Rhône of the estate is the 2015 Côtes du Rhône Reserve, and like the Quartz, it's a match for any number of Châteauneuf du Papes. A blend of Grenache and Mourvèdre, it offers a killer perfume of black raspberries, crushed flowers, graphite and crushed rock. Whilst being a big wine, as with all these wines, it stays impeccably balanced and is a thrilling drink. Silky, full-bodied, elegant, and incredibly polished, with a gorgeous texture. This is certainly a candidate for one of the best Côtes du Rhône made!
1 x Domaine la Barroche Vin de France 'Liberty' 2015
Awarded 92/100 Points: Robert Parker, RobertParker.com, The Wine Advocate
A new wine from Julien, his 2015 Vin de France comes mostly from a parcel of 65-year-old vines planted in a cooler, higher elevation parcel. In addition, it includes some of his declassified Châteauneuf du Pape grapes, hence the Vin de France label and not Côtes du Rhône (Châteauneuf du Pape is one of the few appellations that cannot be declassified to Côtes du Rhône). Made from 55% Grenache, 18% Syrah, 12% Mourvèdre and the rest Cinsault and Carignan, it tastes like a Châteauneuf du Pape with its juicy black raspberry, violets, peppery herbs and distinct minerality. This comparison is certainly still valid on the palate, as well and its medium to full-bodied, concentrated and structured, with a sappy, grippy style that will evolve nicely for 7-8 years or more. Don’t let the Vin de France label sway you, this is the real deal.
1 x Domaine De L'Echevin Côtes Du Rhône Villages Saint Maurice 'Guillaume De Rouville' 2015
Awarded 94/100 Points: Robert Parker, RobertParker.com, The Wine Advocate
Awarded 90/100 Points: Wine Spectator Magazine
"These releases from winemaker Adrien Fabre are beautiful, age-worthy wines well worth the effort to track down" Jeb Dunneck, RobertParker.com
"Even better and the flagship of the estate, the 2015 Côtes du Rhône Villages Saint Maurice Guillaume de Rouville is up there with some of the top Côtes du Rhônes made. Its inky purple color is followed by lots of ripe plum, black raspberry, toasted spice and ample peppery characteristics and nuances. Rich, medium to full-bodied, beautifully concentrated and textured, with good acidity, drink it on release and anytime over the following decade" Jeb Dunneck, RobertParker.com, The Wine Advocate
A super premium blend of 95% Syrah, 5% Grenache from 45 year old vines, all hand harvested.
1 x Le Clos Du Caillou Cotes Du Rhone Les Quartz 2015
Awarded 92/100 Points: Jeb Dunnuck
Awarded 92/100 Points: Josh Reynolds, Vinous Media
Awarded 91/100 Points: Wine Spectator Magazine
Awarded 90/100 Points: Joe Czerwinski, RobertParker.com, The Wine Advocate
"Leading off the 2015 which were all tasted from bottle, the 2015 Côtes du Rhône les Quartz is terrific and will compete with any number of more expensive Châteauneuf du Papes. Strawberries, framboise, garrigue and flower notes all flow to an elegant, ethereally textured Côtes du Rhône that has depth, length, and complexity. With silky tannin, a charming, forward style, and a great finish, it's a no-brainer purchase" Jeb Dunnuck, RobertParker.com, The Wine Advocate
1 x Domaine des Bosquets Côtes du Rhône Villages La Jérôme 2016
Awarded 91/100 POINTS: Jeb Dunnuck, RobertParker.com, The Wine Advocate
"The 2016 Côtes du Rhône Villages La Jérôme is another Grenache/Syrah blend yet comes from slightly more sandy soils. It will see 12 months in concrete prior to bottling. Perfumed notes of flowers, lavender, potpourri and sweet red fruits all give way to a medium to full-bodied, elegant, silky 2016 that has polished tannin and a great finish. It too is going to deliver the goods for 4-5 years, if not longer" Jeb Dunnuck, RobertParker.com, The Wine Advocate
