"Scents of sun-warmed stones accent red berries on the nose of the 2020 Cotes du Rhone Villages Plan de Dieu Cuvee des Galets, a blend of 60% Grenache and 20% each Mourvèdre and Syrah. Matured just eight months in concrete prior to bottling, it's full-bodied and dusty textured, finishing with silky tannins and several years of life ahead of it. It's another fine value from this well-run estate." 91 points

"Bottled in July 2017, the 2016 Cotes du Rhone Villages Plan de Dieu Cuvee des Galets was already looking outstanding when I tried it in late August. This blend of 60% Grenache, 20% Syrah and 20% Mourvèdre gives off scents of sun-warmed stones and blackberries, yet it remains fresh and vibrant, with great intensity but with silky, almost elegant tannins." 90 points
Om Domaine Aphillanthes
Domænet råder over ialt 37 ha. beliggende i det sydlige Cotes du Rhone delta. Ejeren Daniel Boulle overtog domænet - som 4. generation - i 1986, hvorefter han straks iværksatte renovering af kældre som vinmarker.
Vinene blev meget kendte i slutningen af 1990erne, da det amerikanske vinjournalist Robert Parker slog vejen forbi på en søndagstur, og skrev så siden hen om domænet: ("maybe the richest Cotes du Rhone I have tasted"). Idag er vinene blandt de bedste og mest kendte Cotes du Rhone Villages der kan opdrives
