Robert Parker (93)

A blend of 80% Grenache, 15% Syrah and 5% Mourvèdre sourced from several different parcels around the village, the 2020 Chateauneuf du Pape is full-bodied and fleshy, yet also airy and light on its feet, silky and elegant. Unlike the 2019, this is more red-fruited and cherry-driven. The Grenache and Mourvèdre mature in concrete tanks, while the Syrah is in barriques.

Vinous (91)

Stating 15.5% alcohol on the label, the modern-styled 2020 Châteauneuf-du-Pape Tradition is a blend of 80% Grenache, 15% Syrah and 5% Mourvèdre. Pale ruby-colored, swirling the glass unveils aromas of cooked red and black fruits, crème de cassis and cloves. Showcasing slightly coarse tannins, this full-bodied red maintains a good level of freshness through crisp acidity.
