James Suckling: 95 Points
Prototypical Southern Rhone nose of black fruit with orange zest and licorice. Very fresh and spicy palate, in spite of the ripeness and amplitude of the palate. The full tannins are already very well integrated, building steadily at the imposing yet refined finish. Excellent aging potential. A classic GSM (grenache, syrah and mourvedre) Southern Rhone blend. Drink or hold.
Jeb Dunnuck: 95 Points
The 2019 Châteauneuf Du Pape Cuvée Mourre Des Perdrix comes from sandier soils around the estate and is a blend of mostly Grenache, along with 15% each of Syrah and Mourvèdre, and a splash of Cinsault. Its ruby/plum hue is followed by a soft, supple, seamless 2019 (this cuvée is always the most elegant in the lineup) with lots of kirsch and toasted spice aromas and flavors, medium to full-bodied richness, silky, polished tannins, and a great finish. It's another incredibly seamless wine from this team that can be drunk today or cellared for 15 years or more.
Wine Spectator: 94 Points
Dense and brooding, this is packed with tightly coiled layers of black plum and cherry puree, charred garrigue and tar. A distinctly savory wine, with cracked pepper and black tea notes encasing the fruit. Showing somewhat grippy tannins that need time to soften, this wine will benefit from a few years in the cellar. Grenache, Syrah and Mourvèdre. Best from 2025 through 2040. 700 cases made, 150 cases imported.
