Robert Parker - Wine Advocate
The '05 Galevan Chateauneuf du Pape has even
more intense garrigue, kirsch liqueur, lavender, and spice
box than the '06, in a dense, medium to full-bodied, richly
fruity style with moderate tannin in the finish. Give it 2-3
years of bottle age.
We can thank Coralie Goumarre, the winegrower and the winemaker
of this estate, for these lovely wines, which I think include
a couple of cuvees that may be negociant blends, but I wasn’t
able to verify that prior to writing this report. Whatever
the case may be, these are serious Chateauneuf du Papes.
Drink '09 - '24.
