70% Grenache, 15% Syrah, 10% Mourvèdre, 5% others. Much better than their Gigondas, this has all the requisite ripeness of fruit plus full body, sufficient acidic balance, chalky tannic texture and good length with a fine spicy element on the finish. (RH)

Not yet bottled, the 2011 Chateauneuf du Pape (80% Grenache, 10% Syrah and the rest Mourvedre and other permitted varieties) is a great example of the vintage and has an upfront, perfumed, sexy style. Garrigue, incense, kirsch, lavender and black raspberry qualities flow nicely to a medium to full-bodied, rounded supple Chateauneuf du Pape that will drink nicely on release and evolve relatively quickly.
