Alex Lallos, JJ Buckley, October 2007

A lovely beam of crème de cassis runs through this silky, rich red, which also sports licorice, black tea and raspberry ganache notes. The long, fine-grained finish lets the fruit play out, almost leaving a heady impression, but the minerality sits in reserve and keeps this honest. Best from 2008 through 2027.

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, October 2007

The dense ruby/purple-tinged, full-bodied, powerful, rich 2005 Chateauneuf du Pape Les Petits Pieds d'Armand offers up notions of sweet black cherry and raspberry fruit, licorice, smoke, and earth. It is similar to the 2006, but possesses more acidity and tannin. Anticipated maturity: 2010-2020+. When Olivier Hillaire dissolved his partnership with Domaine des Relagnes, he took one of their top vineyard parcels, Les Petits Pieds d'Armand, with him. Hillaire is a multi-talented gentleman as not only is he a skilled winemaker, but he also owns the finest bakery in the village of Chateauneuf du Pape.

Deep ruby. Wild array of red and dark berry, fresh floral and incense aromas. Cherry-vanilla and cola flavors are deep and sweet but surprisingly fresh and lively, with suave minerality extending through the finish. This is delicious now.

About Winery

This micro-estate of just under 10 acres represents part of the former Domaine des Relagnes owned by Henri Boiron. The consultant, Philippe Cambie, has pushed the quality of the Olivier Hillaire wines to a very high level, including the spectacular luxury cuvee called Les Petits Pieds d'Armand, which is from 107-year-old vines planted in pure sand in the Grand Pierre lieu-dit, from which the famous Barroche Pure, Giraud Grenache de Pierre, and a few other great Grenache-dominated wines emerge.
