Price: 36,00€
DESCRIPTION
The tannins on this Châteauneuf-du-Pape are as soft as goose down. This red wine from the Rhône Valley was aged for 10 months in an oak cask and 10 more months in an oak vat. This mixed ageing process allows for the wine to acquire more body, while still remaining soft on the tongue. This Châteauneuf is a blend of Grenache (75%), Mourvèdre (10%), Syrah (10%), and Cinsault (5%). It expresses comforting aromas of blackcurrant and cherry, with slight hints of licorice and spices. This wine is the perfect match for venison with mushrooms, a leg of lamb, duck with porcini mushrooms, or goat cheese or Ousso-Iraty.
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.

A nice complexity with dark fruit aromas and spicy touches. A wine to enjoy over time.
