"ll of the 2014s from this estate are downright impressive and well worth seeking out. My favorite of the 2014s was easily the 2014 Châteauneuf du Pape Les Sables de La Crau, which is always 100% Grenache, from sandy soils on the la Crau plateau. It’s partially destemmed and aged all in demi-muids, and in 2014, it has the most depth and richness of the lineup; it’s up with the crème de la crème of the vintage, as well. Framboise, strawberries, spice box, dried herbs and toast all flow from this full-bodied, elegant, gorgeously polished Châteauneuf du Pape that is just filled with pure Grenache love."

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.
A late-ripening red lending structure, dark fruit and gamey, meaty complexity to southern Rhone and Mediterranean blends.
Syrah (Shiraz) produces dark, powerful reds with black fruit, pepper and smoked-meat notes. It yields elegant, perfumed wines in the northern Rhone and bold, rich styles in Australia.
