Domaine de la Charbonniere Chateauneuf-du-Pape Mourre des Perdrix 2015

Professional Ratings

• 94 Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
  A great showing, the 2015 Châteauneuf du Pape Mourre des Perdrix (70% Grenache, 15% Syrah, 15% Mourvèdre and a splash of Cinsault) shows ample spice and ground herb characteristics intermixed with lots of loamy soil, kirsch and sweet cherry nuances. Medium to full-bodied, elegant and silky, with notable freshness and purity, it should drink nicely in its youth and have 10-15 years of overall longevity.

  This coats the palate with raspberry, boysenberry and blackberry coulis flavors, which race along, with subtle anise and graphite notes underneath. Long and polished through the finish, with a hint of oolong tea adding range. Grenache, Syrah, Mourvèdre and Cinsault. Best from 2018 through 2035.
• 92 James Suckling
  This cuvée has deep and fleshy fruit presence, impressive concentration and dark berry fruits that pervade every corner of the palate. Fresh darker plum finish.

  From the sandy soils around the estate, the 2015 Châteauneuf-du-Pape Mourre des Perdrix (69% Grenache, 15% each of Syrah and Mourvèdre, and a splash of Cinsault) is medium ruby-colored and offers classic notes of strawberries, cherries, loamy/sandy soil and dried flowers. It's beautifully polished, elegant and silky on the palate, and scores high on charm and accessibility.
