ratings pedigree (past vintages):
winemaker's notes:
This wine is a beautiful cherry and red blackberry color, with hints of violet. There is an elegant nose with aromas of raspberry, strawberry, quince compote, and a bit of wood. The palate is very fresh with great smoothness, with aromas of blackberry liqueur. It is dominated by the final notes of myrtle liqueur and blueberry.
critical acclaim:
"The 2010 Chateauneuf du Pape Les Quartz, which is aged in both foudre and truncated oak vats, comes from two lieux-dits, Les Cassanets for the Grenache and Les Bedines for the Syrah. It reveals crushed raspberry and kirsch notes as well as a chalky stone-like character, but less of the Provencal roasted herb, lavender, and licorice notes than its siblings. Drink this dense, full-bodied, impressive 2010 over the next 15-20 years.

The Wine Advocate
"This is fruit in hyperdrive, with a torrent of crushed blueberry, boysenberry and blackberry flavors rushing along, laced with sweet licorice and fruitcake and driving through the long, very polished finish, where a nice echo of charcoal keeps it honest. Really gorgeous. Drink now through 2025."
95 Points
Wine Spectator
"Deep ruby-red. A more masculine, assertive wine than the Safres, showing intense red and dark berry character with strong floral and herb notes. Lush and creamy in texture, with a slow-building spiciness and a seamless quality to its dark fruit flavors. Picks up energy with air and finishes with excellent clarity and length. I'll bet that this wine will be a slow ager.Range: 91-93 "
