Wine Advocate (100)One of the most profound wines in the vintage is unquestionable the 2007 Chateauneuf du Pape Cuvee les Grenache de Pierre, which is 100% Grenache, from sandy soils in the la Crau lieu-dit, raised all in concrete tanks and bottled unfiltered. Its deep ruby color is followed by an incredible bouquet of black cherries, black raspberries, licorice, dried herbs and garrigue. Deep, layered, gorgeously concentrated and ultra-fine, with sweet, ripe tannin and an incredible elegance, drink this sensational juice anytime over the coming 10-15 years. |

Wine Advocate (99)Although it is extremely limited in availability, readers should not forget the 2010 Chateauneuf du Pape Les Grenaches de Pierre. This remarkable wine boasts inky, raspberry and kirsch liqueur notes interwoven with spring flowers, loamy, sandy soil, balsam wood and forest floor, and a full-bodied, multidimensional mouthfeel. The color is a dense purple, there is good acidity underlying the wine's tremendous opulence and voluptuous texture, and the tannins are sweet. It is another fabulous example of old vine Grenache that should drink well for 15-20 years. |

Wine Advocate (96)Shockingly good given that it’s 100% Grenache (which struggled in the vintage), the 2011 Chateauneuf du Pape Les Grenaches de Pierre comes all from sandy soils in La Crau and Pignan. Aged all in concrete, it’s more focused and concentrated than the Gallimardes, with beautiful minerality, dark fruit, roasted garrigue and assorted Provencal nuances. Serious stuff, with full-bodied richness and chewy tannin, it will have a broad drink window. Count me a fan. Drink 2015-2027. |

Vinous (93)Brilliant ruby-red. Fragrant, mineral-laced scents of ripe red fruits, olive paste and candied rose, along with notes of chalky minerals and garrigue. Taut, focused and spicy on entry, then fleshier and weightier in the mid-palate, offering juicy raspberry and bitter cherry flavors and a touch of anise. Closes gently tannic and very long, with resonating minerality and spiciness. |

Vinous (93)Deep ruby. Intensely perfumed aromas of raspberry and cherry liqueur, potpourri and Asian spices, joined by a smoky mineral nuance that builds in the glass. Juicy, penetrating and alluringly sweet, offering intense red and blue fruit and floral pastille flavors and supple, seamless texture. Effortlessly balances richness and vivacity and shows no excess weight. Finishes very long and sweet, with smooth, harmonious tannins and a strong echo of candied flowers. |

Wine Advocate (95)Drawn from sandy soils in the lieux-dits of La Crau and Pignan, the all-Grenache 2017 Chateauneuf du Pape Grenaches de Pierre features wiry, herbal threads sewn into a fabric of tart cranberries and raspberries. It's full-bodied and tannic, needing a few years to loosen up. Ultimately, it should reward the patient with a complex, silken tapestry of flavors. |

Vinous (95)Limpid ruby. A highly perfumed bouquet evokes mineral-accented red fruit preserve and floral aromas, complicated by Moroccan spice and incense flourishes. Juicy and expansive on the palate, displaying impressive energy to the spice-laced raspberry preserve, kirsch and fruitcake flavors. Rich yet energetic in character, with supple tannins building slowly through a very long, floral-driven finish. |

Vinous (92-95)Opaque violet color. Extremely powerful, heady nose evokes cassis, boysenberry, olive, lavender and printer's ink. Broad, fleshy and deep, offering vivid red and dark berry preserve flavors, a velvety texture and supple tannins. The fruit seems to suck up the tannins on the clinging finish, which strongly repeats the cassis note. Very impressive. |

Wine Spectator (97)This drips with steeped raspberry, plum and boysenberry fruit, making for a decidedly fruit-driven personality. Shows ample spine, with a deeply buried bolt of graphite and hints of Turkish coffee and ganache skittering through. Offers a long echo of smoldering tobacco. A stunner. Best from 2020 through 2045. 400 cases made. |

Jeb Dunnuck (95-97)Awesome notes of blueberries, black raspberries, exotic spices, and floral notes dominate the bouquet of the 2017 Châteauneuf-du-Pape Les Gallimardes. It too shows the sunny style of the vintage, yet has nothing overripe, has remarkable purity, and sweet tannins, all pointing to another beautiful vintage for this wine. It’s unquestionably the most traditional and flamboyant of the three Châteauneuf-du-Pape releases. |

Vinous (90-93)Inky purple. Powerfully scented bouquet of kirsch, mulberry and candied lavender. All primary fruit right now, offering dense red and dark berry flavors and no apparent tannins. The finish is broad and sweet, echoing the seductive floral note. Marie Giraud and her brother Francois's first vintage on their own was 2005, and the quality leap has been dramatic in just a few short years. Marie told me that this wine will be bottled earlier than the others, to preserve freshness, and that these vines range from 60 to 80 years of age. |
