2014 Domaine Charvin Chateauneuf du Pape 1x750ml

Robert Parker 91

One of the gems to seek out in the vintage is the 2014 Châteauneuf du Pape. Made in the fresh, elegant and focused style loved by Laurent, it has lots of white pepper, kirsch, incense and garrigue characteristics, with impeccable balance, fine tannin and medium-bodied richness. Drink it anytime over the coming 7-8 years. [28/09/2017]

Vinous 94-95

Brilliant ruby-red. Powerful raspberry, floral pastille and Asian spice aromas show outstanding clarity and vivacity. Energetic flavors of red fruit preserves and lavender are given spine and definition by zesty minerality. The floral and red fruit notes carry strongly through a clinging, sharply focused finish framed by smooth, slow-building tannins. This wine is shaping up to be a classic Charvin rendition of Châteauneuf, displaying abundant upfront fruit along with the depth and balance to ensure a long, graceful evolution.
