Description
Encore à ses débuts, 2011 est un beau millésime abordable et reflétant une image de Châteauneuf-du-Pape très équilibrée avec une matière longue.
Passé sa robe rubis très lumineuse, la proximité évidente de la mise en bouche donne de la retenue au nez. On profite toutefois de nuances de kirsch et d’airelle. Il conviendra de l’aérer longuement si vous désirez l’apprécier au plus vite.
De beaux tanins longs, raffinés et délicats se dessinent sur le palais. 2011 s’exprime sur trame soyeuse, avec de la puissance mais sans excès.
C’est un millésime au plaisir direct et très simple.

Avis des experts- 95 100 Wine Spectator "Delivers a beautifully pure and velvety note of cassis that holds sway over an ample range of blackberry paste, blood orange, singed apple wood and bergamot notes. The long finish shows succulent flesh and a buried iron accent. The grip is integrated, the acidity mouthwatering and the depth impressive for the vintage. Best from 2015 through 2030."
- 96 100 The Wine Advocate "One of the stars of the vintage and coming from absurdly low yields of 18 hectoliters per hectare, the 2011 Chateauneuf du Pape is a full-bodied, seamless effort that exhibits copious kirsch, ground pepper, dried flowers and underbrush as well as incredibly fine tannin, great mid-palate concentration and ample length on the finish. Relatively forward by this estate’s standards, it will be approachable at an earlier age than normal. Nevertheless, it will have 20+ years of evolution and is an awesome effort in the vintage. Drink 2015-2030. "
