Châteauneuf-du-Pape “Le Petit Livre de A.M. Bach – 60 Mensis” 2010 — Rotem & Mounir Saouma
This Châteauneuf-du-Pape “Le Petit Livre de A.M. Bach – 60 Mensis” 2010 from Rotem & Mounir Saouma embodies a singular, profound and highly personal expression of the appellation. Marked by extended ageing and a search for texture, it combines concentration, freshness, floral dimension and deep minerality, in a style that is ample, refined and distinctly original.
Terroir: Châteauneuf-du-Pape, depth and extended ageing
Rotem & Mounir Saouma offer a highly distinctive interpretation of Châteauneuf-du-Pape, built on patience, depth of substance and an ageing approach that is unusual for the appellation. This rare cuvée favours complexity, length and aromatic construction over an immediate or simply sun-filled expression.
The 2010 vintage brings remarkable structure, natural acidity and strong ageing capacity. In this “60 Mensis” version, the wine gains density, smoothness and depth, while retaining a sensation of freshness that balances the ripeness of red and blue fruits.
Tasting notes
Appearance: deep red with garnet and dark ruby reflections, dense and brilliant, showing gradual evolution that underlines the maturity of the vintage.
Nose: intense, luxuriant and perfumed, with black raspberry, blackberry, very ripe red and blue fruits, lavender and a strong mineral imprint. With aeration, nuances of violet, sweet spices, garrigue, liquorice and warm stone may appear.
Palate: ample, suave and concentrated, carried by ripe fruit, juicy acidity and a remarkable sensation of freshness. The very long finish combines supple tannins, persistent floral dimension and deep minerality, leaving an impression of balance and great depth.
Expert review
95–96/100 — Vinous
Josh Raynolds describes the Châteauneuf-du-Pape “Le Petit Livre de A.M. Bach – 60 Mensis” 2010 from Rotem & Mounir Saouma as a wine still in ageing at the time of tasting, yet already showing great depth. His review highlights an intense, luxuriant and perfumed nose, marked by black raspberry, blackberry, lavender and a strong mineral imprint. The palate is ample, suave and concentrated, driven by very ripe red and blue fruits, juicy acidity and a remarkable sensation of freshness. The very long finish combines supple tannins, persistent floral character and deep minerality.
Expression of the 2010 vintage
The 2010 vintage gives this wine great poise, built on depth, freshness and length. Fruit ripeness remains balanced by lively acidity and marked minerality, while the extended ageing brings a more enveloping texture and added complexity. With time, the wine should evolve toward notes of dried garrigue, faded flowers, melted spices, fine leather, candied dark fruits and warm stone.
In summary: a rare and profound Châteauneuf-du-Pape 2010, awarded 95–96 points by Vinous, marked by an ample and suave palate, remarkable freshness, a long floral finish and deeply present minerality.
Food pairings: roast lamb with herbs, pigeon, duck with sweet spices, matured rib of beef, lamb tagine, confit vegetables, garrigue-inspired cuisine, mushroom-based dishes, black truffle or mature hard cheeses.
