Along the same lines quality-wise, the limited production 2011 Chateauneuf du Pape L’Eperdu is a blend of 100% Grenache that comes from the Cabrieres, Fargueirol and Cansaud lieux-dits. It exhibits notions of sweet strawberries, licorice, cocoa powder and dried garrigue as well as a medium to full-bodied, seamless and textured profile on the palate. Loaded with character, it too should have a decade of longevity. Drink now-2021. An estate that continues to produce a bevy of outstanding wines, Domaine Durieu is now managed and run by the young Vincent Durieu. Vincent produced some spectacular 2010s, and the 2011s and 2012s aren’t far behind. In addition, these remain reasonably priced in the marketplace. While their L’Eperdu cuvee shows a slight modern character, both the traditional cuvee and the old vine Lucile Avrile, which are aged mostly in concrete, stay distinctly traditional in style.
