92 POINTS: James Suckling

" A very serious Cotes-du-Rhone with deep forest-fruit aromas, as well as hints of smoke and dried herbs, the full, soft tannins filling out the full body very neatly. Nice, spicy and earthy depth at the long finish. Drink or hold."
– James Suckling

Rated among the 'World's Greatest Wine Estates' by Robert Parker. And he's not alone, we absolutely love this winery. They are the new guard in Chateauneuf-du-Pape, making clean powerful wines with beautiful perfume, balance and length. They are legends in the making.

The winery sits right in the heart of Chateauneuf as does their Champauvins vineyard which is accessed down a narrow Roman road, on one side of which grow lauded Chateauneuf-du-Pape-designated Grenache vines and on the other side grow Grand Veneur's Côtes du Rhône-designated Grenache vines: I challenege anyone to spot any difference in soil, aspect, topography or vine condition from one side of the road to the other. You can't, because there is no difference! This really is a 'mini Chateauneuf-du-Pape.
