Les Cailloux Châteauneuf-du-Pape Cuvée Centenaire 2005 is a mature-vintage reserve red wine from the Châteauneuf-du-Pape appellation of the southern Rhône Valley. This profoundly complex CNDP is composed of 80% Grenache with the rest a mix of Mourvèdre and Syrah, and is within its prime drinking window. A must-buy for southern Rhône wine lovers. "While bricking in hue, the 2005 Chateauneuf du Pape Cuvee Centenaire retains some attractive black-cherry fruit, joined by notes of caramel and licoricey. Full-bodied, richly concentrated and textured, it finishes long and nuanced." Joe Czerwinski, 2022
95 Vinous
Ruby-red. Potent red berry and kirsch on the nose, with exotic floral, mineral and game notes adding complexity. Seductively sweet, with deep but admirably focused flavors of raspberry, bitter cherry and blackcurrant. Supple tannins build through the finish. More closed than it was from barrel last year, but this wine possesses incredible depth and power, and picks up a remarkably seductive minerality with air. Don't touch this for at least five more years.Josh Raynolds1st January 2008

While bricking in hue, the 2005 Chateauneuf du Pape Cuvee Centenaire retains some attractive black-cherry fruit, joined by notes of caramel and licorice. Full-bodied, richly concentrated and textured, it finishes long and nuanced. Drink it over the next several years.Joe Czerwinski5th May 2022
