"From the biodynamically farmed Domaine de Terre Ferme, the 2010 Chateauneuf du Pape exhibits lots of Mediterranean sea breeze/seaweed, kirsch, fig, black currant and cherry notes in its complex, heady, succulent personality. With good acidity and ripe tannin, this 80% Grenache/20% Mourvedre blend is the finest offering from Domaine de Terre Ferme in over two decades . . . . These are both terrific offerings from the Jaboulet firm, which is enjoying a renaissance under the relatively new ownership of the Frey family (who also own Chateau La Lagune in Bordeaux and are major stockholders in the Champagne house of Billecart-Salmon)."
