Alain Jaume
Châteauneuf-du-Pape Domaine Grand Veneur 2000
Impressive from start to finish. Rich and ripe, but also tannic, here is a blockbuster that draws its strength from the i terroir, n with lots of mineral and wet earth. Full-bodied, unusual for its chalky, flinty character, this serious and complex wine needs time--but what thickness on the midpalate! Great fruit--plum, citrus, crushed berries--that goes on and on in the long, long finish. Best from 2005 through 2020. 3,330 cases made. –PM
