Rated 94 by Wine Advocate
Less obviously ahead of the Clos du Calvaire than it was last year out of foudre, the 2017 Chateauneuf du Pape la Crau de Ma Mere still delivers almost embryonic waves of fruit—cherries, raspberries and blueberries. Full-bodied, supple and silky, with a long, slightly briny finish, it comes across as a bit simple because of its youth. If it develops additional complexity in bottle, my rating may look stingy. ...

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.
