Take the stress out of buying a gift, let them choose exactly what they want.
This wine was formerly known as “roquete”, but now – made from fruit taken almost entirely from the Piedlong plateau, the estate has chosen to reflect this in its name. In changing the philosophy regarding the origin of the fruit, they have also chosen to reduce production by around 60%. The resulting wine is a far more reined-in and mineral wine than it has been in the past – with bright vibrant hedgerow fruit characters framed by fine-grained tannins and a burst of red-currant acidity on the finish. This is really rather good!Lay & WheelerA new wine that will now replace the l'Accent cuvee from Domaine la Roquete (and going forward, there will be no more red wine produced from the la Roquete estate), the 2012 Piedlong Chateauneuf du Pape is a superb looking tank sample. Comprised of 90% Grenache and 10% Mourvedre and vinified all in wood tank, with 30% whole-cluster, it possesses medium to full-bodied richness, firm tannin and excellent purity, with plenty of blackberry fruit, dried spice and licorice on the nose. Give it a couple years in the cellar and it should impress through 2024.91-93, Jeb Dunnuck, Wine Advocate 31st October 2013
