| Description: |
This wine has been selected from the best parcels just outside of the Cheateauneuf du Pape area of appellation based on their soil, age and grape varieties with small yields. This wine is a blend of three classic grape varieties from the Chateauneuf du Pape area: Syrah, Grenache & Mourvèdre. The Syrah brings the structure, the spices with aromas of violets and a deep ruby colour. The Grenache brings strengh, fatness and softness. The Mourvèdre brings tannins and body. Thanks to the oak barrel aging, the wine is very complex, showing toasted notes of vanilla, grilled spices and liquorice perfume. This top Cuvée of Côtes du Rhône is very sophisticated, well balanced and shows a lot of elegance and finesse. James Suckling 91 |
