Comte de Lauze Chateauneuf du Pape
Anne Foucher is the steward of this estate based in Courthezon. With parcels in the northwest of Chateauneuf du Pape, in the lieu dit Cabrieres, her wines are opulent and reflect purity instead of exuberance.
“A masculine profile with loads of ground pepper, iron, meat and ripe herbs on the nose. This fleshes out with air and gains more textbook, classical notes of garrigue, earth, and sweet Grenache driven fruits. Medium to full-bodied on the pallet with more finesse than the nose would have you believe, this very well done Chateauneuf should be given a year or three in bottle, and then drunk over the following decade.” 90 Points! Rhone Report September 2011.
