Domaine Galévan - Chateauneuf du Pape, Cotes Du Rhone
Robert Parker :

"The bold 2004 Chateauneuf du Pape is made in an elegant, almost Burgundian style with medium body, notes of raspberries, and cherries in a cool climate, resiny style with good depth, richness, and overall balance.

It is an impressive wine, not totally dissimilar from the style of Domaine de Charvin. Proprietor Coralie Goumarre produces the wine at this estate in the northern sector of Chateauneuf du Pape near the village of Courthezon."

"The 2005 Chateauneuf du Pape is impressive. If this gets in the bottle without too much clarification, this wine should turn out to be outstanding. Impressively packed with loads of black raspberries, sweet cherries, and licorice notes along with a hint of balsam wood, this full-bodied wine has admirable purity, ripeness, and overall balance. Beautiful symmetry and purity result in a real sleeper of the vintage that has impressive length and ripeness. Proprietor Coralie Goumarre produces the wine at this estate in the northern sector of Chateauneuf du Pape near the village of Courthezon. "
Robert Parker

"Galevan has produced a sleeper Cotes du Rhone selection, the 2005 L’Esprit du Vin. This wine has a deep ruby/purple-tinged color and plenty of sweet black cherry and raspberry fruit intermixed with some underbrush, pepper, and spice. The wine is meant to be drunk in its first 4-5 years of life but offers plenty of flavor, intensity ,and depth. Proprietor Coralie Goumarre produces the wine at this estate in the northern sector of Chateauneuf du Pape near the village of Courthezon."
Robert Parker
