Robert Parker, February 2003, Score: 89
Wine Advocate #145 (Feb 2003) Robert Parker 89 points Drink 2003-2015The 2000 Chateauneuf du Pape La Crau de Ma Mere possesses a dense ruby/purple color as well as a sweet perfume of peppery black cherries intermixed with Provencal herbs. With low acidity, good spice, loads of fruit, and a creamy texture, this plump Chateauneuf will drink well for 10-12 years.

Region
Châteauneuf du Pape
The emperor of southern Rhône appellations, Châteauneuf du Pape was the first A.O.C. in all of France, created in 1936. Their bottle is unique embossed with the papal coat of arms. Thirteen varieties (14 if Grenache Blanc is counted separately) can be incorporated in the blend. The reds include: Grenache, Syrah, Mourvèdre, Carignan, Cinsault, Terret Noir, Picpoul, Vaccarèse, Counoise, Muscardin, while the whites are Roussanne, Bourboulenc and Clairette. Only a handful of producers use all 13, Grenache often being the highest percentage of the blend. This enables each producer to highlight the varieties that are the ripest and most interesting in any given year. Most Châteauneuf du Pâpes are master examples of wines that can be approachable within the first few years of release yet able to develop superb complexity during many years of cellaring.
