Produced from a mix of purchased grapes and wine, the 2020 Chateauneuf du Pape La Cour Des Papes offers up pretty aromas of spring flowers and ripe raspberries on the nose. It's full-bodied, supple and creamy across the mid-palate, then firms up and seems a bit hard and tannic on the finish.

Assuming the aldehydic, bruised-fruit notes are a problem isolated to the sample I received, the 2017 Chateauneuf du Pape La Cour Des Papes should prove to be a solid effort. It's full-bodied, rich and tannic, with a long, velvety finish.

Full-bodied and silky smooth, the 2016 Chateauneuf du Pape La Cour Des Papes is an elegant, easy-drinking blend of 70% Grenache, 20% Mourvèdre and 10% Syrah aged in a mix of stainless steel tanks and old barrels. Red berries and yellow stone fruits mingle easily on the juicy palate, ending on a juicy, mouthwatering note.

Made from Grenache, Syrah and Mourvèdre, the 2013 Chateauneuf du Pape La Cour Des Papes sports a surprisingly inky color as well as classic notes of blackberries, black currants, licorice and underbrush. Medium-bodied, subtley straightforward and commercial style, it nevertheless has plenty of fruit, solid mid-palate depth and a good finish. Drink it over the coming 4-5 years.

Another solid effort from this negociant, the 2012 Chateauneuf du Pape La Cour des Papes (60% Grenache and the balance Syrah and Mourvedre) exhibits plenty of ripe black cherry, violets and floral notes to go with a medium-bodied, supple and fruit-forward, delicious style. It’s ideal for drinking over the coming 4-5 years.
