"From the biodynamically farmed Domaine de Terre Ferme, the 2010 Chateauneuf du Pape exhibits lots of Mediterranean sea breeze/seaweed, kirsch, fig, black currant and cherry notes in its complex, heady, succulent personality. With good acidity and ripe tannin, this 80% Grenache/20% Mourvedre blend is the finest offering from Domaine de Terre Ferme in over two decades . . . . These are both terrific offerings from the Jaboulet firm, which is enjoying a renaissance under the relatively new ownership of the Frey family (who also own Chateau La Lagune in Bordeaux and are major stockholders in the Champagne house of Billecart-Salmon)."

The world's most influential fine-wine producer and the benchmark for Bordeaux, Burgundy, Champagne and the Rhone. Its appellation (AOC) system codifies geography, grape and method, and its wines set the global standard for age-worthiness and terroir expression.
Spans the Syrah-driven northern crus of Cote-Rotie and Hermitage and the Grenache-based blends of the warmer south, led by Chateauneuf-du-Pape. Its wines are known for power, spice and warmth.
The southern Rhone's most famous appellation, blending Grenache with Syrah, Mourvedre and more into rich, warming, spice-laden reds from galet-strewn soils.
A warm-climate red giving generous, high-alcohol wines of red fruit and spice. It anchors southern Rhone blends and old-vine wines in Spain and Australia.
