"A fragrant and spicy Chateauneuf that marries richness and structure with finesse and fascination. The fine tannins build beautifully at the self-confidently dry finish, where spicy and chalky elements mingle beautifully, with just a hint of milk chocolate neatly accenting this. A complex blend based on grenache. From biodynamically grown grapes with Demeter certification. Drink or hold."

"This full-bodied wine has a decadent nose of black plum, red cherry, rhubarb, licorice, rose potpourri, cinnamon, clove and freshly turned earth. The palate is structured with concentrated black plum and black licorice up front, followed by a midpalate of warm baking spices, earth and a green peppercorn finish. Its velvety texture and ripe-fruit profile make this bottling easy to enjoy now. - Anna-Christina CABRALES"

"The 2021 Châteauneuf Du Pape La Dame Voyageuse is darker in color and slightly more Grenache-dominated, made up of 90% Grenache and the rest Syrah, Mourvedre, Vaccarese, and Counoise. Blackberries, violets, graphite, and peppery garrigue all define the bouquet. and it's medium to full-bodied, with beautiful balance, ripe, silky tannins, and a great finish."

"Big, juicy, bold and powerful. Really driving, chunky, mouthfilling fruit and tannin. It’s long, broad and expansive, a huge wine for those that enjoy massive Châteauneufs. It's all there though – the fruit, the ripeness, the smooth tannin, the acidity, the freshness. Will take time to come together then it will be very long lived. The most powerful Dame Voyageuse to date – don't expect an approachable second wine! - Matt WALLS"

"The 2023 Châteauneuf-du-Pape La Dame Voyageuse presents vivid orange rind, ripe raspberry, forest strawberry and licorice aromatics. Concentrated and refined, the 2023 is a stellar follow-up to the enticing 2022 I tasted last year, bringing it home with structure and finesse on the persistent close. - Nicolas GREINACHER"

"Sourced from vines rooted in the sector of Cabrières, in the northern part of the appellation, the 2023 Chateauneuf du Pape La Dame Voyageuse is excellent, offering up aromas of rose, lavender, dark cherries, iris and lilac intertwined with fresh mint notes. Medium- to full-bodied, satiny and layered, it's fresh and racy, with good energy for a cuvée that can sometimes be very rich, concluding with a long, gently tannic finish. Vinified in equal parts concrete tanks and stainless steel, this blend of 90% Grenache Noir, 4% Syrah, 4% Mourvèdre, 1% Vaccarese and 1% Counoise was matured for 12 months in used barrels. - Yohan Castaing"
