Grand Veneur Côtes du Rhône Villages 'Les Champauvins' 2009
Grand Veneur Côtes du Rhône Villages 'Les Champauvins' 2009 Among the 'World's Greatest Wine Estates' - Robert ParkerWe absolutely love this winery. They are the new guard in Chateauneuf-du-Pape making clean, powerful wines with beautiful perfume, balance and length. They are legends in the making.The winery sits right in the heart of Chateauneuf as does their Champauvins vineyard which is accessed down a narrow Roman road, on one side of which grow lauded Chateauneuf-du-Pape-designated Grenache vines and on the other side grow Grand Veneur's Cotes du-Rhone-designated Grenache vines: I challenege anyone to spot any difference in soil, aspect, topography or vine condition from one side of the road to the other. You can't, because there is no difference! This really is a 'mini Chateauneuf-du-Pape' and it's less than $25!! "The outstanding, silky, pure 2009 Cotes du Rhone Les Champauvins represents a baby Chateauneuf du Pape. Composed of 70% Grenache, 20% Syrah, and 10% Mourvedre, it reveals a deep ruby/plum color in addition to full-bodied flavors, light tannin, and lavender, truffle, black currant, and black cherry aromas" 90+/100 Robert Parker
