Wine Enthusiast: 96 Points
A study of varietal Grenache sourced entirely from pebbly soils (as opposed to the safre of the producer's Les Petits Pieds d'Armand), this rich, muscular wine is packed with ripe, black cherry and cassis flavors. Matured 15 months in old barriques, it's framed by fine, integrated tannins and lingering hints of green olive and green peppercorn. A bit tightly wound in youth but should approach peak from 2022 and develop nicely well past 2030
Wine Advocate: 94 Points
The 2017 Chateauneuf du Pape Les Terrasses is a Grenache cuvée drawn from old vines grown on stony soils. Hints of garrigue bring a sense of freshness to the ripe black cherry flavors of this full-bodied, supple wine. It's velvety, with hints of chocolate on the finish, but remains lively, not raisined.
