DESCRIPTION

This red wine’s plots are situated in the northern part of the Châteauneuf-du-Pape appellation. The old vines of Grenache, Syrah and Mourvèdre planted on sandy soils bestow on this vintage its particular elegance. The bouquet can thank prune, black cherry, clove, and cacao for its aromatic complexity. The palate is structured, ample and offers a long finish. Better decant this wine before drinking it. Also, it pairs well with duck in a green peppercorn sauce, guinea fowl or pheasant.

REGION

Rhône

France

A historic cradle of French winemaking, the Rhône stretches from Lyon to Provence and is home to over 5,000 estates. In the north, steep slopes produce Syrah of rare intensity (Côte Rôtie, Hermitage) and exceptional whites such as Condrieu, made from Viognier. Further south, the diversity of terroirs (rounded pebbles, sand, slopes) gives powerful, generous reds (Châteauneuf du Pape, Gigondas) based on Grenache, Mourvèdre and Syrah. A great place for gastronomy, the region offers endless unforgettable food and wine pairings.

Généreux et structuré

Un Châteauneuf classique, avec des arômes profonds de fruits noirs, de garrigue, d’épices et de cuir. La bouche est ample, puissante, mais bien équilibrée par une trame fraîche et des tanins soyeux. Une belle réussite du millésime 2018.

Un prix plus que abordable pour une tel qualité de vin!!

Ce vin offre une belle complexité aromatique, typique des grands Châteauneuf-du-Pape, et un excellent rapport qualité-prix pour un vin de cette appellation prestigieuse.

Reviews in Other Languages

Elegant and powerful at the same time

We opened the Lavau Châteauneuf-du-Pape 2018 with a friend and decanted it for 1–2 hours. The colour still had a purple tone at the core, with a garnet rim showing its development, and it was beautifully oily in the glass. On the nose: ripe cherry, earth and herbs, with a lovely roundness. On the palate it was very elegant: delicate and powerful at once, with balanced medium acidity and smooth tannins. A great example of Châteauneuf-du-Pape that is drinking beautifully right now. Highly recommended.

Classic Châteauneuf-du-Pape Character

Grenache-led and full of southern charm, this wine combines ripe red and black fruit with notes of licorice, thyme, and pepper. A beautifully structured wine that reflects both richness and balance.

Warm, Spicy & Full-Bodied Southern Rhône Red

The 2018 Châteauneuf-du-Pape from Lavau opens with aromas of ripe blackberries, dried herbs, and sweet spices. On the palate, it's plush and full-bodied, with silky tannins, rich dark fruit, and a touch of earthy garrigue.
