93-95 Tasted a year ago, prior to bottling, the 2020 Chateauneuf du Pape les Hesperides—a 50-50 blend of Grenache and Mourvèdre from the lieu-dit of Les Bédines—boasts dark, almost meaty notes of mocha, black olive and plum on the nose. It’s full-bodied, rich, concentrated and tannic and in need of a few years in the cellar.

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.

93-95 The 2020 Châteauneuf Du Pape Les Hesperides is an even split of Grenache and Mourvedre that was raised in stainless steel tank and demi-muid. Rocking notes of blackberries, dried strawberries, peppery herbs, and sandalwood all flow to a medium to full-bodied, pure, elegant, balanced Châteauneuf du Pape with tons to love. It's already complex and drinking nicely yet should evolve for 15 years or more.

James Suckling

Intensely spicy with notes of licorice and hot asphalt, this Chateauneuf is only moderately fleshy and has stunning, fine tannins that give it a wonderfully velvety texture, then a very long powerful finish with mineral freshness. A grenache-based blend from vines planted on a gentle, north-facing slope in 1966. Drink or hold.

The 2020 Châteauneuf-du-Pape Les Hespirides has a tight lead over the Secrets de Pignan. An equal blend of Grenache and Mourvedre, it was aged eight months in a combination of demi-muids and stainless steel tanks. Aromas of very ripe black fruits usher in, followed by hints of menthol, spice box and earthy undertones. Full-bodied and structured, this juicy powerhouse offers excellent depth and wraps up with persistence. Only 4,000 bottles were produced.

Winery Notes

Black red color with black hints. Thoroughbred and rich nose of black berries, licorice, dark chocolate and oriental spices. Powerful mouth. Sensual tannic structure, dense and velvety. The finale, finely oaky, still reveals new aromas with smoked, roasted and mentholated notes.
