Chapelle St. Theodoric Chateauneuf Du Pape Grand Pin

| Description: | (93-95 Points) The 2018 Chateauneuf du Pape Le Grand Pin, tasted from barrel, explodes with floral and tea-like notes allied to red raspberries and strawberries. Full-bodied, but with an amazing lithe, delicate, silky structure, it looks to be another huge success for this pure Grenache cuvée. These wines are made and looked after by Baptiste Grangeon of Domaine de Cristia. Drawn from specific parcels of Grenache planted on sandy soils, they're aged in demi-muids for two years or more, then bottled unfixed and unfiltered for the American importer, Peter Weygandt. To my tastes, they're some of the most exciting cuvées I review each year, both for the quality of the wines and the individual vineyard expressions. Low crops in 2017 and 2018 mean there will be even less of these than usual, approximately 3,000–5,000 bottles of each. Issue Date, 30th Aug 2019.
