Jeb Dunnuck om: Cotes du Rhone Les Garrigues

Bottled end of February/early in March, the 2016 Châteauneuf-du-Pape Cuvée Chaupin is incredible stuff, and while I suspect it’s the best vintage to date, it’s going to be great comparing it to bottles of the 2005, 2007, 2010, and 2015 over the coming 15+ years. This beauty offers a thrilling blend of kirsch, blackberries, smoked earth, graphite, and licorice on the nose. It's full-bodied, deep, pure, ultra-fine, and powerful on the palate and flirts with perfection. It’s a tour de force in Grenache that readers need to snatch up! 94/100

Suckling om: Cotes du Rhone Les Garrigues

The depth and concentration here are exciting. This is an exceptional wine with freshness and long, noble tannins. A pure, refined, soulful grenache. Limited production from a small parcel of 80-year-old vines. Drink or hold. 93/100

Parker om: Cotes du Rhone Les Garrigues

There was only one 32-hectoliter foudre (now bottled) of the 2016 Cotes du Rhone Les Garrigues, an all-Grenache cuvée vinified with 50% whole clusters. It's floral and herbal on the nose, with bold flavors of blackberries and licorice. Full-bodied and richly concentrated, it boasts supple tannins balanced by hints of brine and fresh acids. It's easily the equal of many Châteauneufs, and the price has crept up to reflect that. 93/100
