This is old-vine Grenache at its most patient. Jean-Paul Daumen farms biodynamically in Chateauneuf-du-Pape, and his Reserve is drawn from a tiny plot of centenarian vines on sandy soils that lend finesse to all that southern Rhone power. Made only in vintages that earn it and produced in vanishingly small quantities, the 2009 was the last release before Daumen reorganized his range by terroir, closing a chapter at the domaine. At seventeen years old, it has arrived: the fruit has softened toward truffle and spice, the tannins have melted, and the wine drinks with silk and sweetness. Decant gently to leave the sediment behind, and enjoy a mature Chateauneuf in its prime.

Antonio Galloni

"Glass-staining purple. High-pitched, spicy aromas of raspberry liqueur, potpourri, garrigue and white pepper. At once deep and lively, with impressive energy and silky texture to the sweet red fruit and floral pastille flavors. The spicy quality carries through on the tactile, palate-staining finish." —Josh Raynolds

Robert Parker

97 points

"Rock-star stuff that could merit a tripe digit score sometime in the future, the 2009 Chateauneuf du Pape Reserve knocks it out of the park with its massive, decadent, ripe and concentrated profile. Showing plenty of cassis, spring flowers, mint, licorice and ground herbs, it’s a hedonistic and blockbuster-styled effort that will drink well for two decades." —Jeb Dunnuck
