Robert Parker is also of the opinion that the quality of this winery has increased significantly in recent years. Quote: "One of the few 2019s that may surpass the 2016 version, Frédérick Charvin's 2019 Chateauneuf du Pape—a blend of eight different grape varieties—is a terrific effort. It starts with modest scents of struck match, so give it a quick splash into a decanter, then sit back and enjoy the gentle herbal undertones and voluminous red berry and cherry notes.Full-bodied and concentrated, it's also supple and harmonious on the palate and long and silky on the finish.Matured in equal parts foudre, older barriques, stainless-steel tanks and concrete, there's no obvious oak to be found, and the fruit shines." It got 93/100 points.
