This 2000 Châteauneuf-du-Pape is following in the footsteps of the exceptional 1972 Châteauneuf-du-Pape bottled in early 2020. These two crus share the same origins but have not undergone the same ageing process.

The 2000 Châteauneuf-du-Pape was aged according to Burgundian methods in wooden containers throughout the maturing process. 

 

94/100 - JAMES SUCKLING:

"Wild-blackberry, potpourri, tobacco and dark-chocolate aromas. It’s full-bodied with firm, velvety tannins. Intense and polished with delicious praline layers. Still has plenty of energy and structure. Gorgeous balance. Drink or hold."
