Price: 23,33€
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.
Recommended for you:
Generous, warm, without excess. The garrigue comes through nicely.
