Chante le Merle isn’t just another Châteauneuf—it’s Bosquet des Papes’ tribute to their oldest vines, and in a cooler vintage like 2013, it shows a refined, savory side. A blend led by Grenache (from 80–100-year-old vines), with Syrah and Mourvèdre rounding it out, this wine is built for aging—and after a decade, it’s right in the pocket.

The fruit has mellowed into dried cherry and plum, layered with wild herbs, black tea, and leather. The tannins have softened into silk, but the structure’s still there, framed by that classic Southern Rhône warmth and a touch of garrigue. There’s no flash here—just quiet confidence and deep, earthy complexity.

Perfect for fans of traditionally styled Châteauneuf who want something mature, soulful, and ready to drink. Pair it with lamb, duck, or anything with rosemary and a bit of char.

Professional Reviews

Robert Parker

RP 92
"One of the most structured wines in the vintage, the 2013 Chateauneuf du Pape Chante le Merle Vieilles Vignes gives up ample kirsch, licorice, dried spices and ground pepper in its medium to full-bodied, concentrated, tannic profile. Made from 90% Grenache, 5% Syrah and 5% Mourvedre, it has terrific length and the tannin is polished and ripe, but at the moment it’s backwards and closed. Give it another year or two and enjoy bottles through 2028." -Robert Parker

Wine Spectator

WS 92
"Juicy but still youthfully taut, this offers lots of brambly grip, keeping the core of steeped plum and raspberry fruit in reserve. Mouthwatering anise and violet notes stream through the finish, which displays a nicely buried tarry edge."
