Join us at our Creve Coeur AND Town & Country locations as we taste through TWO top tier Chateauneuf-du-Papes closed-out to us at great pricing. Two other wines to be determined by each store will be open to sample as well.
2019 Domaine Charvin Chateauneuf du Pape....$49.99
Was $69.99
Lowest price on Wine-Searcher is $75
The 2019 Châteauneuf Du Pape from Laurent is the usual blend of 82% Grenache and the rest nearly equal parts Syrah, Mourvèdre, Vaccarèse, and Counoise that was brought up all in concrete tank. It shows the sunny, spicy, Provençal style of the vintage beautifully while still having incredible freshness in its red and black fruits as well as garrigue, ground pepper, spring flowers, and incense aromas and flavors. Gorgeous on the palate as well, this medium to full-bodied Châteauneuf du Pape is balanced and has terrific tannins, no hard edges, and a great finish. Rhône lovers need to have this beauty in their cellar, and it's going to offer pleasure for a solid two decades.
Rated 96/100 Jeb Dunnuck
2020 Domaine de Ferrand Chateauneuf fu Pape....$42.99
Was $59.99
This youthful 2020 Chateauneuf is enormously spicy, the red fruits character coming through more prominently on the generous and precisely contoured palate. Deep fine tannins are married to a delicate licorice and earthy character on the ample palate. Then comes the great wave of stony freshness at the extremely long finish. A cuvee from "young vines" that are 45-50 years old, and the remainder from 110-120 year old vines. Drinkable now, but best from 2024
Rated 96/100 James Suckling
