Reviews

Wine Enthusiast 93

This Grenache-dominant blend (augmented by 5% each of Syrah and Mourvedre) drenches the palate with rich, glossy black cherry and blueberry flavors. Matured in 20% new barriques, the wine boasts a midpalate with subtle veins of vanilla and clove, but overall, it's a pure, intensely fruity sip that finishes on fine-grained, intensely gripping tannins.

Jeb Dunnuck 90

Juicy cherries, strawberries, and exotic floral notes dominate the 2017 Chateauneuf Du Pape Les Hauts Des Coteaux, which is medium to full-bodied, plump, rounded, beautifully textured, and just a delicious mouthful of fruit. The blend is 90% Grenache and 5% each of Syrah and Mourvedre, brought up in 20% new oak, with the balance in older barrels and concrete tanks.

Vinous Media 91

Limpid ruby. Expansive cherry and black raspberry scents are complemented by suggestions of allspice, garrigue and licorice. Supple and broad on the palate, offering appealingly sweet red and blue fruit preserve, spicecake and floral pastille flavors that betray no rough edges. The blue fruit note carries strongly through the smooth, spice-tinged finish, which shows very good clarity and velvety, slow-building tannins.

Estate

Cellier des Princes was founded In 1925 by a group of dedicated winegrowers. 11 years later, these visionary men were involved in the creation of the 1st AOC appellation in France, Chateauneuf du Pape.
