Always all Grenache, the 2020 Châteauneuf Du Pape Amiral G. is another gem from this incredible estate that brings more opulence and sexiness than just about every other wine in the vintage. Ripe black cherries, licorice, roasted Provençal garrigue, and ground pepper are just some of its nuances, and it’s full-bodied, with a pure, utterly seamless mouthfeel, silky tannins, and a great, great finish. This is pure Provençal goodness that’s already hard to resist yet will evolve for 15-20 years in cold cellars.

Varietal

Red Rhone Blend

The Rhone region of France has been producing superb quality white blended wines for centuries, and is a region highly respected and esteemed around the world, with plenty of New World countries keen to emulate the styles and techniques displayed by the historic wineries and skilled vintners of the area. The secret to the Rhone's success when it comes to blended white wines is the careful and expert selection of certain grape varietals, which each lend special features to the blended wine and bring balance and harmony to the bottle. Most commonly, blended white Rhone wines feature no more than two grapes of either the Viognier, Rousanne, Marsanne or Grenache Blanc varietals, and are renowned for their exceptional flavors and highly aromatic, floral character.

Region

Rhone Valley

The Rhone Valley of southern France is a particularly fascinating wine region, with a history that stretches back to at least six hundred BCE, when the ancient Greeks first began cultivating vines there. The region itself is split into two distinct sub-regions, with the northern sub-region being famed for its production of exceptional Syrah, Marsanne, Roussane and Viognier wines, packed full of interesting character and expressing the terroir found there. The southern sub-region is home to an enormous variety of grapes, and produces red, white and rosé wines, and some of the world's most famous and adored blended wines. The continental climate of the region is ideal for growing grapes, and the winds which blow from the Central Massif help temper the heat in the vineyards, leading to very ripe fruits holding plenty of flavor.

Appellation

Chateauneuf Du Pape

Châteauneuf-du-Pape, an illustrious wine appellation in the Southern Rhône Valley, France, stands as a vinous icon recognized for its robust red blends. What makes Châteauneuf-du-Pape unique is its historic heritage, boasting ancient vineyards and a rich winemaking tradition dating back to the papal residence in Avignon. The region allows an assemblage of up to 13 grape varieties, prominently featuring Grenache, Syrah, and Mourvèdre. The distinctive galets, large round stones that retain heat, dotting the vineyards contribute to the wines' complexity and distinctive character. Châteauneuf-du-Pape reds are known for their full-bodied nature, rich dark fruit flavors, and a medley of spices, all underscored by a unique herbaceous quality known as garrigue. The appellation's commitment to traditional winemaking, coupled with its unique terroir, results in wines that exemplify the quintessence of Southern Rhône winemaking, offering enthusiasts a captivating taste of history and the sun-drenched landscapes of Provence.

Wine Advocate

Marked by intense florals set against notes of pomegranate and red berries, Vaudieu's 100% Grenache 2020 Chateauneuf du Pape Amiral G is full-bodied, almost creamy in texture, concentrated, ripe and rich. Tasted blind, I wrote, "I just like the flavors of #152 more (which was the L'Avenue), but this is right up there." Both are fine examples of Grenache from this serious estate.

Wine Spectator

Ripe, fresh and very direct, with a focused beam of plum puree flanked by a red and black licorice thread that pumps through nicely. Reveals a deeply embedded graphite spine that keeps this grounded, while sweet tobacco, shiso leaf and ganache accents infuse the finish. Best from 2025 through 2040. 950 cases made, 100 cases imported.

Vinous Media

The 2020 Châteauneuf-du-Pape Amiral G is named after Admiral Gérin, lieutenant in the Marseille Admiralty, who built Château Vaudieu back in 1767. This single varietal Grenache bursts from the glass with well-defined aromas of redcurrant, red and black cherry, thyme, dried herbs and a pinch of white pepper. Full-bodied and layered, it's refined and polished, with a juicy core of fruit and good persistence on the sapid finish.

James Suckling

A rich and spicy wine with fine tannins and some good stony minerality on the expansive, but lively palate. The fine tannins build nicely on the well-structured finish. Drink or hold.
