The 2013 Châteauneuf du Pape offers sexy and forward notes of strawberries, framboise, dried garrigue and leather. This wine is made from 85% Grenache, 5% Syrah, 5% Mourvèdre and 5% Cinsault that had one third of the blend aged in barrel. Drink this medium-bodied, perfumed and Provençal effort through 2023.

Vivid red. Explosively perfumed red berry and floral scents are complicated by Asian spices and smoky minerals. Juicy and sharply focused on the palate, with sappy raspberry and bitter cherry flavors given spine and lift by tangy acidity. This pure, nicely balanced wine finishes with excellent clarity and suave, even tannins. There's more than a passing resemblance to Burgundy here, and really good Burgundy at that.

Domaine Jean Royer
Jean-Marie Royer inherited his vines in 1985 and set about improving the grape varietal mix and the vinification from then. Since more than half of the domaine is in unclassified ('Vin de Table') or 'Côtes du Rhône, he has developed a marque 'Le Petit Roy' sold as Vin de Table' for everything that does not make it into the Châteauneuf cuvées. The Petit Roy has always been a big hit in the shops ever since first joining our list.
His Châteauneufs are just gorgeous and offer refreshingly fantastic value for money. He has undoubtedly been much helped his close friend, the late star oenologist Philippe Cambié, who he went to school with and also played rugby with for many years. Cambié was more famous for a full-on rather extracted style, but Jean-Marie imposed his own, fresher, brighter style on all his wines which are crunchy and well-defined, helping cement these elegant expressions of Grenache as some of the finest from Châteauneuf.
