Mas de Boislauzon Chateauneuf du Pape
FRANCE: RHONE VALLEY -SOUTHERN - CHATEAUNEUF-DU-PAPE
Size750MLVintage2010SKU15225
The best value from this estate is the sensational 2010 Chateauneuf du Pape, a blend of 70% Grenache, 15% Syrah and 15% Mourvedre from 50-year-old vines aged in concrete tank as well as old wood foudres. Copious aromas of garrigue, seaweed, ground pepper, creme de cassis and kirsch jump from the glass of this opaque ruby/purple-colored, full-bodied, multidimensional, rich, pure 2010.

FRANCE: RHONE VALLEY -SOUTHERN - CHATEAUNEUF-DU-PAPE
Size750MLVintage2010SKU14504
The 2010 Chateauneuf du Pape is a traditional blend of 65% Grenache, 20% Syrah and the rest Mourvedre and Cinsault from 50-year-old vines aged in a combination of concrete tanks, old wood foudres and small old barrels. It displays notes of charcuterie, roasted meats, garrigue, kirsch and black currants along with a full-bodied, seriously endowed, super-concentrated mouthfeel that builds like a skyscraper in the mouth. 94 Pts.

Domaine du Vieux Telegraphe Chateuneuf-du-Pape La Crau
FRANCE: RHONE VALLEY -SOUTHERN - CHATEAUNEUF-DU-PAPE
Size750MLVintage2010SKU16341
Coated with unctuous linzer torte, warm plum sauce and pure cassis fruit flavors, while notes of maduro tobacco, mint, green fig and toasted anise flitter throughout. This is lush and dense, but well-harnessed through the finish, with a mouthwatering roasted apple wood note and lingering fresh acidity. 96pts Wine Advocate
Chapoutier Chateauneuf du Pape Croix de Bois
FRANCE: RHONE VALLEY -SOUTHERN - CHATEAUNEUF-DU-PAPE
Size750MLVintage2009SKU16323
There are 535 cases of the 2009 Chateauneuf du Pape Croix de Bois (100% Grenache from 110-year-old vines planted on the famed small rocks called Galets Roules).

Chapoutier Chateauneuf du Pape Barbe Rac
FRANCE: RHONE VALLEY -SOUTHERN - CHATEAUNEUF-DU-PAPE
Size750MLVintage2009SKU16322
Even better is the 507-case cuvee of 2009 Chateauneuf du Pape Barbe Rac. One of the wines of the vintage, this dark ruby/purple-tinged effort possesses great intensity along with a full-bodied mouthfeel and almost over-the-top levels of licorice-infused kirsch liqueur and raspberries. Spicy, peppery and earthy with lavish glycerin as well as richness, this is an amazing 2009 that is already drinking beautifully given the precociousness of the vintage. 96pts Wine Advocate (2009)
Beaucastel Chateauneuf du Pape Hommage a Jacques Perrin
FRANCE: RHONE VALLEY -SOUTHERN - CHATEAUNEUF-DU-PAPE
Size750MLVintage2003SKU7199
Black purple to the rim, with an extraordinary nose of smoke, camphor, blackberry, cassis, sweet cherry, white flowers, licorice, and Chinese black tea, the wine has superb richness, huge tannins, massive concentration, and a monster finish. 95pts Wine Advocate (2003)
Beaucastel Chateauneuf du Pape Hommage a Jacques Perrin
FRANCE: RHONE VALLEY -SOUTHERN - CHATEAUNEUF-DU-PAPE
Size750MLVintage2004SKU7200
The 2004 is potentially one of the legendary Jacques Perrin cuvees since the debut vintage of 1989. The potentially perfect 2004 Beaucastel Chateauneuf du Pape Hommage a Jacques Perrin has turned out to be just an amazing wine and one of the profound examples of this cuvee the Perrins have produced. It certainly has all the power, density, and richness of the great years, but there is almost a surreal elegance and lightness for a wine this powerful and dense. Almost difficult to describe, the gorgeous multi-layered texture, and the heavenly perfume of smoked meats, flowers, blueberries, blackberries, creosote, and truffles is a knock-out. 98 pts Wine Advocate (2004)

The 2003 Beaucastel Chateauneuf du Pape Hommage a Jacques Perrin has turned out even better than I thought last year.

Chateau de Beaucastel Chateauneuf du Pape Hommage a Jacques Perrin
FRANCE: RHONE VALLEY -SOUTHERN - CHATEAUNEUF-DU-PAPE
Size1.5LVintage2005SKU8239
Thoroughly primal, with a torrent of raspberry and boysenberry fruit rushing forth. Only shows hints of its full range, with licorice, incense, graphite and mocha flavors fluttering in the background. Has an iron-clad structure, with a long finish that shows great cut and grip. Best from 2009 through 2025. 96 Points Wine Spectator (2005)
