2015 Chateauneuf du Pape Cuvee du Quet
Buying options
Tasting notes
Like the base cuvée, yet even richer, more powerful, and decadent, the 2015 Châteauneuf-du-Pape Quet is a blend of 80% Grenache and 20% Mourvèdre that was raised in very old barrels and oak tanks. Full-bodied, ripe, sexy and about as hedonistic as it gets in 2015, this beauty has tons of sweet tannin, a huge mid-palate, and big finish. It's an incredible wine that’s guaranteed to raise your heart rate (it did for me anyway).

Although the 2015 Chateauneuf du Pape Cuvee du Quet is an attempt at a more serious wine, I actually preferred the more elegant regular cuvee. The blend here is 80% Grenache, 20% Mourvedre, and the wine offers bright cherries and stone fruit upfront, followed by a creamy-supple mouthfeel that shows ample concentration. This full-bodied wine grows in intensity on the finish (always a good sign), turning velvety but also adding just a touch of alcoholic warmth. Oct 2017, www.robertparker.com
