Score 96/100 · Drink 2024-2040, Joe Czerwinski, Wine Advocate, Sep 2023

All Grenache raised in older demi-muids, the 2020 Chateauneuf du Pape l'Avenue is a pretty special effort. Floral, tea-like aromas accent strawberries, raspberries and cherries on the nose, while the full-bodied palate is taut yet silky, with amazingly fine-grained tannins, plenty of complexity and a long, long finish.

The 2020 Châteauneuf-du-Pape L'Avenue is showing magnificently. Like the Amiral G, it is a single varietal Grenache that aged for 18 months in demi-muids . It mingles aromas of jammy red fruits along with some ripe black cherry, exotic spices and a pinch of mint. On the palate it is full-bodied, wrapped in plush tannins, and balanced by fresh acidity, concluding with a broad finish.

The 2020 Châteauneuf Du Pape L'Avenue (100% Grenache) is similarly hued and boasts a similarly seamless, elegant, incredibly layered profile. Black cherries, redcurrants, chalky minerality, and ground pepper are just some of its nuances, and it's full-bodied, with a layered, seamless mouthfeel, beautiful tannins, and a great finish.
