2017 LA FERME DU MONT CHATEAUNEUF-DU-PAPE VENDANGE “The 2017 Châteauneuf-du-Pape Vendange has a concentrated, medium to full-bodied style as well as some exotic, sappy herbs, and spring flower aromas and flavors. Leading with more dark fruit, it gains depth and richness with time in the glass and will certainly be an outstanding wine.” 91-93 Points “Tasted blind. Reductive nose, petillant palate and while the red fruit is very attractive and ripe, the balance is still raw. The purity and persistence of that gorgeous red fruit indicates great quality here, so there should be lots more to come.” 17+/20
