Le Clos du Caillou - Chateauneuf du Pape La Reserve 2020
Wine Advocate: 98-100 Points
A co-fermented blend of 55% Grenache and 45% Mourvèdre, matured in demi-muids (about 10% of the volume is in amphorae this year), the 2020 Chateauneuf du Pape La Reserve is a strong candidate for perfection. Sourced from the lieux-dits of Guigasse and Pignan, the nose delivers the essence of sandy-soil Grenache, with notes of rose petals, lavender, thyme, cherries and raspberries. Full-bodied and lush, silky and long, it adds hints of toasty oak and salted licorice on the finish. (JC) (5/2022)
Wine Spectator: 95 Points
A dark, rich and densely layered red, with iron and graphite at its heart, this is smoldering with plum puree, tar and smoke. Surprisingly supple on the integrated palate, with concentration and savory power that will carry this for years. Grenache and Mourvèdre. (JM) (2/2023)
