| Review: |
"I, unfortunately, wasn’t able to taste any Châteauneuf du Papes from Laurent Charvin, but his Côtes du Rhône showed beautifully. Mostly Grenache brought all in concrete, Laurent’s 2018 Côtes Du Rhône Le Poutet is a classic as they come, offering a beautiful bouquet of wild strawberries, peppery herbs, flowers, and rose petals. Beautifully balanced, medium-bodied, and elegant, it’s another terrific 2018 that knocks it out of the park on charm and accessibility, and in this cuvee’s case, complexity. It’s be thrilled to enjoy bottles anytime over the coming 7-8 years." |
