2015 Chateauneuf du Pape
Buying options
Tasting notes
The 2015 Châteauneuf du Pape is a great example of the polish and elegance of the estate. Strawberry jam, black raspberries, crushed herbs and pepper all emerge from this full-bodied, concentrated, yet seamless and lengthy beauty. Made from 81% Grenache and 19% Syrah, brought up in a mix of demi-muids, old barrels and concrete tanks, drink it over the coming decade or more. As with the whites, there’s numerous parcel selections done with the reds.

Vaudieu is on a roll. Even the 2015 Chateauneuf du Pape is a star, boasting forward aromas of garrigue and ripe raspberries. Full-bodied, richly textured and tannic, this wine will likely close down shortly. But the long, fruit and spice-driven finish gives me confidence it will then reemerge in five-plus years.
