WA 97 (10/2014): Similar in color to the classic white, the 2013 Châteauneuf du Pape Roussanne Vieilles Vignes is deeper and richer, with more viscosity, glycerin and minerality. Loaded with notes of buttered citrus, flowers, orange marmalade and crushed-rock nuances, this beauty hits the palate with full-bodied power, juicy, lively acidity and terrific length. Like the classic white, this does not go through malolactic fermentation, but sees slightly more oak (some new) in its elevage, which always gives it slightly more richness, as well as hints of vanilla in its youth. It’s unquestionably the greatest white wine coming from the Southern Rhône, and while I prefer to drink it in its first 4-6 years, it can evolve for decades.
WS 96 (11/2015): Ripe and bright, with gorgeous creamed peach, pear and ginger notes forming the core, while verbena, chamomile and honeysuckle accents create the frame. Lush through the finish, where a light salted butter hint emerges. Drink now through 2023. 500 cases made.
VM 93 (4/2016): (aged in a 50/50 blend of stainless steel tanks and oak barrels for eight months): Light, vivid gold. Intensely perfumed aromas of poached pear, orange, candied fig and jasmine slowly acquire a hint of fennel. Smooth, sappy and expansive on the palate, offering rich, mineral-laced orchard fruit and pit fruit flavors that show a suave blend of richness and energy. Finishes very long and sappy, displaying excellent clarity and building mineral and floral notes. Josh Raynolds.
JLL ***** (2/2015): Yellow, shiny robe. Soaked pear, banana aromas - a nose that isn’t quite plush, but is generous, and also trails a little finesse; it prolongs well, with style. The palate is adorned by a firm apricot, dried fruits flavour, with steel and some tannin underpinning it. This is seriously structured, is broad and long, and will age much like a red wine, with a period of closing down. This is up there as one of the best Vieilles Vignes from Beaucastel - it combines freshness with complete matter, a touch of tangerine and nut as it ends. Best to swerve this during its youth, I feel. Take your time with it. From 2022. |
