La Ferme du Mont Châteauneuf-du-Pape Côtes Capelan (2010)

Zusätzliche Information

Vinee Beschreibung und Bewertung

98/100 PP

'The prodigious 2010 Chateauneuf du Pape Cotes Capelan boasts abundant notes of acacia flowers interwoven with blackberries, black raspberries, licorice, incense and a touch of graphite. The wine hits the palate with tremendous authority, impressive purity, a skyscraper-like texture and a full-bodied, layered finish that lasts for nearly 50 seconds. This remarkable Chateauneuf du Pape has a natural yet seductive feel. Drink it over the next two decades.

One of the more exciting, relatively new estates in the southern Rhone is La Ferme du Mont, which is run with considerable enthusiasm as well as meticulous attention to detail by Stephane Vedeau. I bought his 2007s and am thrilled I did so as they combine the best of the southern Rhone with a Burgundian grand cru-like gracefulness and elegance. His 2011 and 2010 offerings are both outstanding, with the latter vintage possibly better than his 2007s. Readers should also check out this estate´s impressive Cotes du Rhones. Stephane Vedeau not only fashions exquisite Chateauneuf du Pape, but also terrific Cotes du Rhones.'

Die zwischen Avignon und Orange gelegene, rund 3200 Hektar umfassende Appellation Châteauneuf-du-Pape zählt zu den großen Klassikern des französischen Weinbaus. In den berühmten Weingärten mit ihren steinigen und vom Mistralwind geprägten Terroirs wachsen Rotweine von berauschendem Reichtum, Würze und Feuer sowie Weissweine mit seidiger Textur und voluminöser Tiefe.
