Description

2010 Châteauneuf-du-Pape, La Part des Anges, Domaine Raymond Usseglio & Fils, RhôneThe massive 2010 Chateauneuf du Pape Cuvee La Part des Anges reveals huge extraction, abundant new oak, and an intense, full style. While there is a tendency to call this modern styled, the 70% Mourvdre component puts it in a different category than a traditional Chateauneuf du Pape. Wines such as the Perrins Beaucastel Hommage a Jacques Perrin, Manfred Krankls and Philippe Cambies Chimere, and a few other offerings dominated by Mourvdre come to mind

Unlike 2014

with 64% reserve wine

The palate is powerful

2005 Cristal is among the most flamboyant Cristal that I have tasted and perfectly ready to drink now

Wine Advocate (March 2020)

the 2000 Latour has a deep garnet color and is showing a good amount of evolution

from 10 months in Allier oak barrel which gives a frame

it's clearly in the same qualitative ballpark

Still lots of tannin and not fully resolved into a bundle of tertiary flavours

and count Rabelais among their ancestors

It didn’t get the most positive reaction on release
