"Full bodied and plushly textured, this is an opulent wine that's approachable now, shoulds goal last through 2025. It's tight and reticent When poured, Then opens in the glass to reveal raspberry fruit, with subtle spice and baking cocoa." Reviewed 1/2/2015 |
91-93 Pts Robert Parker - Robert Parker's Wine Advocate |
"From sandy soils, the deep ruby/purple-colored, medium to full-bodied 2010 Chateauneuf du Pape Lieu-Dit Pignan (100% Grenache) possesses beautiful notes of black cherries, jammy strawberries, kirsch, licorice and spring flowers. Similar to a very good vintage of Rayas, it should drink nicely for 10-12+ years. " Reviewed as barrel sample 10/2011 |
92 Pts Josh Raynolds - Vinous Media |
"Intense, expansive aromas of candied red berries, cinnamon and potpourri, with a smoky topnote. Sappy, seamless and appealingly sweet, with deep raspberry and cherry liqueur flavors and a strong floral accent. Silky tannins add shape and grip to a long, floral-dominated finish. I find this wine surprisingly approachable for a 2010 at this stage." Reviewed Jan 2013 |
92 Pts Wine Spectator |
"Offers layers of dark plum, hoisin sauce, steeped black currant, anise and boysenberry, while charcoal and graphite notes lend support from underneath. The long, dark, smoldering finish has terrific, well-integrated grip. Remarkably dense, but silky in feel. Best from 2017 through 2025. 150 cases imported. " Reviewed 10/15/2013 |
Description:
Pierre-Henri is fascinated by the southern Rhone Valley and the amazing variety of its soils. A few other wines round out the line: Cotes du Rhone Villages "Laudun" and "Signargues", from the right bank of the Rhone facing Chateauneuf du Pape, are outstanding values, and a Gigondas, made from plots located on high-altitude terraces made of alluvial soils that endow the wines with terrific freshness, balance and minerality.
Pierre-Henri Morel wines are vinified and aged within the M. Chapoutier facilities with the utmost care and attention." - Distributor
