Reviews

93 Robert Parker's The Wine Advocate -
As the song says, two out of three ain`t bad. The 2016 Chateauneuf du Pape is an undeniable success, offering subtle garrigue scents and waves of super ripe cherry fruit. Full-bodied and creamy textured, it`s lush and velvety yet not overdone, with a lingering finish. I`d opt for drinking it over the next decade. -- Joe Czerwinski in Issue #238, August 2018

Leading off the reds from barrel, the 2016 Châteauneuf-du-Pape is sensational looking barrel sample that’s packed with ripe fruits (blueberries, blackberries), peppery herbs, licorice and hints of spring flowers. Ripe, full-bodied, and with gorgeous purity of fruit, it’s going to drink nicely right out of the gate. The blend is 80% Grenache, 10% Syrah and the balance Mourvèdre and Cinsault, brought up in concrete tank.

Too late, we are SOLD OUT!
Sorry if you missed the Gigondas, as a constellation prize, this is one of the best values we have on the site right now. Chateauneuf under $30 these days is basically impossible to find. We first tasted this wine in the village of Avignon (near Chateauneuf) from a sommelier who recommended it. THIS you can drink by the gallon. So pure and velvety. In fact, where is the cosrkscrew...?

About the Producer

Located at the heart of the Southern Rhone Valley, a stone's throw away from Chteauneuf du Pape, La Bastide Saint Dominique estate enjoys optimal climate with the unique Mistral wind and very hot and dry summers. Built around a former 16th century chapel, the estate was created by Marie-Claude and Gerard Bonnet with only a handful of hectares. With strong commitment and passion, the Bonnets have expanded the estate to a total area of 50 hectares. Since 1999, their son Eric has been working with them and the wines are truly better than ever.
