Terrific wines from this producer. Bio-dynamic viticulture from vines an average age of 70 years. 70% Grenache, 10% Cinsault, 5% Syrah, 5% Counoise, 5% Mourvèdre, 5% others.
Blackberry, dark raspberry, licorice, violet, some spice. Tightly packed, dense and ‘mineral’ feel, savoury but succulent, fresh and deep, dark chocolate, the quality of tannin is flat out beautiful and the perfume as it goes long and wide is something else. Great wine.

Leading off the three Châteauneuf Du Papes, the 2017 Châteauneuf Du Pape Les Trois Sources comes from more sandy soils just across the road from the estate. It always shares more stylistic similarities with the Réserve and is more opulent, sexy, and fruit loaded compared to the Hauts-Lieux cuvée. This 2017 is spectacular, offering loads of black fruits, black licorice, ground herbs, violets, and some obvious loamy soil and mineral-like aromas and flavors. Full-bodied, expansive, and multi-dimensional, this is another singular wine from Jean-Paul Daumen that tastes like the essence of this stunning terroir.
