(96+ points) Almost all Grenache, the 2019 Châteauneuf Du Pape A La Gloire De Mon Grand-Père comes from the La Gardiole lieu-dit and was aged 80% in demi-muids and 20% in foudre. Its deep purple/plum color is followed by a stunning array of black cherry, blackberry, and ripe strawberry fruits as well as candied flowers, orange blossom, and toasted spice. As with the old vine cuvée, the tannins have a firm edge and it's built with short-term cellaring in mind, yet the purity is brilliant, I love its balance, and this is just a stunning Grenache that's going to have two decades of pure pleasure giving.

This is packed, featuring juicy and energetic raspberry, blackberry and dark plum pate de fruit flavors wrapped in licorice root, black tea, singed juniper and incense notes. Everything knits tightly through the finish, with the underlying freshness extending to a lengthy finish as the juniper note leaves a mouthwatering echo. Serious, old school style. Best from 2024 through 2038. 1,500 cases made, 275 cases imported.

The 2019 Châteauneuf-du-Pape A la Gloire de Mon Grand-Père unfurls in the glass with vivid aromas of crushed violets, ripe cranberry, red and black cherry, baked plum, blueberry jam, cloves, licorice and raisin. This red Châteauneuf-du-Pape mirrors the elevated level of ripeness found in many wines of the 2019 vintage. Solely made from Grenache, the wine aged for 15 months in a combination of foudre and demi-muids, 30% new. It is full-bodied, abundantly concentrated, powerful and clearly appeals to drinkers who are looking for a more modern and opulent style within the appellation. Nicolas Boiron always looks out for that very ripe fruit profile, which he neatly captured in this wine. His grandfather planted the vines in this parcel, thus the reference in the name. - By Nicolas Greinacher, March 2023

All Grenache, aged in a combination of demi-muids and foudre, the 2019 Châteauneuf du Pape A la Gloire de Mon Grand-Père delivers black cherries and blackberries, plus hints of clove, allspice and garrigue. Full-bodied, dense and rich, with plenty of alcohol ("but less than 16%," said Nicolas Boiron), it finishes long and velvety but also a bit warm.- JC
