The Courtil family has been one of the most reliable producers of classically styled, elegant Châteauneuf for a some time now. They describe 2012 as "a quite classic vintage, in a way like 2010 but with more easier tannins and the fruit to the front, which makes them very easy to drink already." I also had the chance to taste through some tanks and barrels of this estate's 2014 during my visit and the newest vintage looks to be a textbook example of the house style, with intense red fruit, blood orange and floral character and pinot-like texture.
