Description
93 points Wine Spectator: “Kirsch, bitter cherry, damson plum and red licorice notes take on a racy feel, with shiso leaf and warm paving stone notes on the finish. Lovely, refreshing acidity runs from start to finish, leaving a mouthwatering feel and bringing you back. Far more elegant than the previous house style at this domaine. Best from 2014 through 2027. 400 cases made. (8/14/13)”
92 points Robert Parker: “[$56 list] An exciting wine, the 2010 Chateauneuf du Pape Cuvee Prestige offers sweet kirsch liqueur, black raspberry, lavender and licorice notes that give it a traditional/classic personality. Deep, loaded, full-bodied and rich with an evolved, open-knit style, it can be drunk now or cellared for 10-15 years. (Oct 2012)”
92 points Jeb Dunnuck (Rhone Report): “Showing more richness and concentration, yet similarly styled, the 2010 Domaine Jean Royer Châteauneuf-du-Pape Cuvée Prestige is a beauty. Perfumed, complex, and loaded with red and black fruits, sappy herbs, licorice, and spice, it is medium to full-bodied, balanced, and admirably concentrated on the palate. It too should have upwards of a decade of prime drinking. (Sep 2012)”
