Domaine Grand Veneur Chateauneuf du Pape Cuvee les Origines 2016  - First Bottle

Reviews

95 Robert Parker's The Wine Advocate -
About as sexy as they come, 2016 Chateauneuf du Pape les Origines features dark, chocolaty notes layered over plums and black cherries. Deep, rich and intense yet sleek and plush, it`s a blend of 50% Grenache, 30% Mourvedre and 20% Syrah aged in vats (for the Grenache) and barrels (for the other varieties). It should drink well for over a decade. Tasted twice, with consistent notes. -- Joe Czerwinski in Issue #238, August 2018
95 Jeb Dunnuck -
The 2016 Chateauneuf-du-Pape Les Origines is 50% Grenache, 30% Mourvedre, and the rest Syrah, all brought up in 50% new oak. It offers a deep ruby/plum color to go with terrific notes of blackberries, currants, smoked earth, and spiced meats. This cuvee shows some oak, but it's beautifully interwoven with its fruit, and it has a rich, full mid-palate and a great finish. This awesome wine will benefit from short-term cellaring and keep for 15+ years.

OK, the VV is a Ferrari, but the "Origines" is still a Porsche Panamera that is right behind. A double 95-pointer at a screaming great price, this is sultry, opulent stuff that will rock your world. 2016 is a vintage to buy as much of as you can! EXCELLENT!!!
