Tasting Notes:
This deeper ruby-hued Châteauneuf Du Pape checks in as 65% Grenache, 20% Mourvèdre, 15% Syrah, and 5% Cinsault. Gorgeous framboise and jammy strawberry fruits as well as flowers, spice, and herbes de Provence-like notes all emerge on the nose, and it's medium to full-bodied, with a layered, seamless texture, ultra-fine tannins, and a great finish. It's one of the bigger, sexier wines I've tasted from this estate, yet it still plays in the seamless, elegant style of the estate beautifully. It will evolve for over a decade .
Aging: The wine is then aged 12 months in foundres and another 6 months in concrete.
Food Pairing: pairs best with barbecued beef ribs, duck, hamburgers, venison stew.
