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. ... More details

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.

Rated 95 by 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.

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.

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.

Region: Rhone Valley

In southern France, one of the primary wine regions responsible for the production of a fine and varied range of wines is the Rhone Valley. Split into two large sub-regions, this expansive valley benefits from micro-climates which allow the wineries to grow a vast array of fine grape varietals. The northern region is the more limited one in regards to the amount of varietals grown, focusing predominantly on raising excellent quality Syrah, Marsanne, Roussane and Viognier vines for their distinctive and elegant range of wines. The southern region, on the other hand, has a beautifully Mediterranean climate, and is home to dozens of grape varietals which are used to produce white, red and rosé wines, alongside some of the most famous and widely loved blended wines in the world.

Country: France

It is widely understood and accepted that the finest wines in the world come out of France. Whether you are drinking a vintage bottle from one of the famed Grand Cru wineries of Bordeaux - such as Chateau Margaux or Chateau Lafite-Rothschild - or a more simple and affordable bottle from one of the lesser known appellations in Burgundy, the likelihood is that the wine is packed full of intense and interesting flavors, and has a fine, balanced structure typical of almost all French produce. This reputation for excellence is taken extremely serious by the French, with dozens of regularly updated laws and regulations ensuring the quality and accurate labeling of wines. Such dedication and passion for fine wine, representative of the region in which it is produced, means customers can be assured that when they buy a bottle from France, they are buying something almost certain to please and delight.
