75% Grenache, 15% Syrah, 10% Mourvedre. 50 year old vines grown on a combination of sandy loam and clay. Deep red-cherry colour. The nose is harmonious mixing floral and fruit aromas with a touch of liquorice. The attack is balanced and lively, the tannins powerful and ripe. Long intense fruit and aromatic finish.

Wine Spectator

Lovely raspberry and blackberry purée notes stream through here, with anise, black tea and mineral notes keeping pace throughout. Silky in feel and lengthy on the finish, with the fruit echoing. Drink now through 2032.

Wine Cellar Insider

Deep in color, the wine is sweet, fruity, fresh, spicy and long. The cherries and black raspberries are fresh, vivacious and feel great on the palate, with a nice peppery kick in the endnote.

Moving to the 2018s from bottle and based on 85% Grenache and 15% Syrah brought up mostly in tank, the 2018 Châteauneuf Du Pape sports a deep ruby/purple color as well as a classic bouquet of black cherries, black licorice, spice, and a touch of Provençal garrigue. It’s medium to full-bodied, has a beautiful texture, the upfront, front end-loaded style of the vintage, and should be drunk in the first decade of life or so. (Drink between 2020-2030)
