Wine Advocate, 94 Points
"A blend of 100% Grenache from the neighboring Pignan lieu-dit, the 2012 Pignan Chateauneuf du Pape is loaded with sappy underbrush, resin, green peppercorn and sweet red fruits that give way to a medium-bodied, pure and elegantly styled palate. Hard to resist and a supple, sexy effort, it should have a decade or more of longevity."
Vinous, 93 Points
"Deep red. Sexy, high-pitched aromas of fresh red berries, lavender and Indian spices, plus a touch of olive. Sappy and precise, with very good lift and clarity to its black raspberry and bitter cherry flavors. Puts on weight with air and finishes sappy, penetrating and very long, with slow-building tannins. Quite rich and powerful for this bottling but still elegant."
Alcohol: 14%
