Domaine Clos du Caillou CdP Blanc Safres 2024

Ultra-silky from the first sip, this dazzles with bright, tangy tropical fruit over layers of pear, yellow apple, and quince. Velvety on the mid-palate where the creamy oak folds in, it fans out with floral tones, anise, honey, and lime zest. The finish is mouthwatering, expansive, and persistent—exotic yet impeccably balanced. Read Full Review

Domaine Santa Duc CdP Les Saintes Vierges 2021

One of the more cerebral Chateauneufs at this price. Dark fruit, fresh herbs and cooking spices on the nose. Medium-bodied with deep dark plum and cherry flavors up front and blood orange, vanilla and anise in the background. Pleasant earthiness that gives nice balance to the core of fruit. Should be amazing with lamb. Read Full Review

A beautiful expression of Gigondas, showing... Read Full Review

Jerome Gradassi Chateauneuf du Pape Rouge 2018

This classic-style Châteauneuf is supremely delicious and an ideal enhancement to a wide array of menus since it is decidedly not an over-the-top, high alcohol sledgehammer. Ripe black and blue fruits stand out on the nose, but they sit right alongside fresh violet, dried herbs, licorice, and potpourri. The complex palate includes notes of tobacco,... Read Full Review
