Chateauneuf du Pape Les Quartz 2016 Domaine du Clos du Caillou

Professional reviews

Robert Parker (93)

Exceeding my prebottling expectations, the 2016 Cotes du Rhone Les Quartz is a terrific effort that puts many Châteauneufs to shame. Aromas of crushed stone and raspberries mark the nose of this 85-15 Grenache-Syrah blend. It's full-bodied and rich, with hints of chocolaty ripeness balanced by citrus zest on the lengthy finish.

James Suckling (94)

Still impressively youthful, this features a creamy texture and loads of dark mulled fig, steeped black currant, loganberry and blackberry fruit flavors, all layered with enticing Lapsang souchong tea, hoisin sauce and maduro tobacco notes. The long finish has mouthwatering definition
