Chateauneuf du Pape Cotes Capelan 2009 La Ferme du Mont

Professionele reviews

Robert Parker (93)

Vedeau's top cuvee is his deep ruby/purple-colored 2009 Chateauneuf du Pape Cotes Capelan. Revealing a cool climate feel, it offers notes of cool red and black cherries, spring flowers, raspberry liqueur and hints of forest floor as well as lavender. Complex, medium to full-bodied and supple with plenty of sweet tannin, it will be even better in several years and should drink well for 15 years.

Juicy and mouthfilling, with gutsy plum, blackberry and black currant fruit that fans out on the finish, letting pastis, graphite and roasted apple wood check in. Long and rich. Approachable now, but has the stuffing to cellar.
