Chimere (SQN and Clos Saint Jean) Chateauneuf du Pape 2015 (Magnum 1.5L)  - First Bottle

Reviews

97 Jeb Dunnuck -
The 2015 Chateauneuf du Pape Chimere is a selection of Mourvedre made by the Maurel brothers of Clos Saint Jean, oenologist Philippe Cambie, and Sine Qua Non genius Manfred Krankl. I believe there?s a touch of Grenache in the blend, as well as some Clairette and other varieties, but the bulk of this cuvee comes from the famed la Crau lieu-dit and is brought up all in demi-muids. It offers a beautiful perfume of sweet kirsch and blueberry fruit intermixed with loads of licorice, sweet spice, violets, and crushed rocks. Full-bodied, super intense, sweetly fruited, perfumed, and complex, it?s a gorgeous 2015 that does everything right. Forget bottles for 4-6 years and it should keep for 2 to 3 decades.
