Tasting Notes
Robert Parker 95-97
"Not yet bottled, the 2016 Chateauneuf du Pape Croix de Bois looks to be the star of Chapoutier’s Southern Rhone collection. Cracked pepper, licorice and black raspberry notes sing loudly in this full-bodied, supple, creamy-textured beauty. There’s a hint of warmth on the lingering, mouthwatering finish, which may limit its ageability, but this is so sexy and lush now, who could resist?"
