The 2020 Châteauneuf Du Pape is terrific, offering classic darker berry fruits as well as peppery garrigue and sappy flower notes. As with the Boisrenard release, this has plenty of tannins and structure, but it’s beautifully balanced and has remarkable purity as well as a great finish. The classic cuvée is 65% Grenache, 15% Syrah, 10% Mourvedre, and the rest a mix of permitted varieties, with the aging mostly in foudre and old barrels.
An elegant red, with nice freshness and purity to the wild cherry, plum and red licorice flavors. Shows a spine of crushed graphite that firms up the somewhat structured palate, with charred garrigue and sandalwood on the finish. Best from 2025 through 2035. 5,000 cases made, 1,000 cases imported.
