Adopt six vines

“Medium-bodied, spicy and fresh, with a touch of earth and bret on the nose, the wine clearly offers depth, richness and layers of ripe, red and peppery fruit on the palate and finish to end things quite nicely”.

“Hints of garrigue and crushed stones are bound togethher by threads of raspberries and dark chocolate in the 2018 Chateauneuf du Pape La Crau de Ma Mère, wich is largely derived from old-vine Grenache grown in La Crau. Full-bodied, generous and silky in yexture. It’s a ripe, seamless effort that should drink well for up to a decade.”

“A pretty Châteauneuf du Pape 2017 La Crau de Ma Mère, made from a selection of very old vines dominated by Grenache, supplemented by Mourvèdre and Syrah, marked by its terroir, all in colour, very aromatic, with connotations of pepper, humus and over-ripe red fruit, fat, combining finesse and structure”.

“Complex bouquet, cherries and blackberries, cinnamon, cardamom, notes of garrigue. Surprises with fruity freshness, fine body, elegant tannins and a mineral note..”     17/20

“While demure on first whiff, this bold, concentrated wine seems to amplify in richness and extract on the palate. Ripe black cherry, fig and mulberry are lavish and spicy, streaked by layers of anise, vanilla and smoke. It’s an opulent but elegantly integrated wine edged by fine, densely packed tannins. The explosion of fruit should gain finesse through 2040.”
