Outer quote mark Even better than the Vendange cuvee, and I suspect one of the wines of the vintage, Stephane’s 2015 Châteauneuf du Pape Côtes Capelan is the top wine of the estate and is made from 80% Grenache and 10% each of Syrah and Mourvèdre, raised 70% in concrete and 30% in barrels. There’s under 500 cases of this beauty and it reveals a deep purple color as well as decadent notes of blackberries, blackcurrants, crushed rocks and melted licorice. Full-bodied, thick, unctuous and massively concentrated, with ripe tannin and a killer finish, don’t miss it! If you haven’t figured it out yet, Stephane Vedeau’s La Ferme du Mont is one of the up and coming superstars of the Southern Rhône.

Dunkles Rubingranat, violette Reflexe, zarte Randaufhellung. Mit zartem Schokotouch unterlegte intensive dunkle Beerenfrucht, schwarze Kirschen, zarter Edelholztouch, mineralischer Anklang. Engmaschig, reife Herzkirschen, lebendig strukturiert, tragende, noch etwas fordernde Tannine, bleibt gut haften, extraktsüßer Nachhall, sicheres Reifepotenzial, hier ist noch Geduld gefragt.
