91-93 Pts Jeb Dunnuck - The Rhone Report |
"Formerly known as the base Cuvee du Vatican Chateauneuf-du-Pape, the 2011 Chateau Sixtine Chateauneuf-du-Pape Monus Dei is a serious 2011 that has uncommon richness and length. It sports an inky purple color to go with fantastic aromatics of black and red raspberry jam, licorice, graphite, and pepper. Medium to full-bodied, supple, and polished, yet also with juicy acidity, good mid-palate concentration, and ripe tannin, this outstanding effort will benefit from short term cellaring, and have 10-12 years or ultimate longevity. Very well done and worth checking out." (10/12) |

"Sleek, with good cut to the linzer torte and damson plum fruit flavors, while mouthwatering singed anise and wood spice fill in the background. A licorice note hangs on the finish. Drink now through 2024. 4,000 cases made. -JM" (10/13) |
Description:
Wine:
"This wine is a deep crimson colour. From the initial nose, the aromas are intense, offering unrivalled finesse and purity and explosions of crisp red berries, such as strawberries and cherries. A first impression of subtlety, slightly closed but delicately full-bodied. Soft and delicious on the palate, elegant, long and velvety, the wine is powerful and structured, with unrivalled persistence on the finish." - Winery
Vinification/Maturing:
"Traditional grapes hand-picked and sorted de-stalked - long vatting time in temperature-regulated stainless steel tanks - Fermentation between 26-28 degrees with regular pumping-over. Wine not fined, filtered on Kieselguhr (calcined diatomaceous earth). 60% aged in large oak barrels, 40% in old barrels for 12 months." - Winery
Weather Conditions:
"There was some good rainfall during the autumn to fill up the water table followed by a cold winter with consecutive nights of frost in January and February. Then came a rainy spring, while summer 2010, was very dry, with the lowest rainfall since 1871! What a record. However, there were some cool nights, particularly in August, which delayed the harvest period until late September 2010. This led to an excellent anthocyanin and polyphenol synthesis." - Winery
This wine was also rated 88 Points by the International Wine Cellar.
