Classic, old school Châteaneauf du Pape dating back to 1405 with no indications of chasing trends of high-octane “bigger is better” CdP’s of modern day. The wine shows restraint, leaning on its delicate and luxurious fruit, providing nuance and inquisition. Roasted fruits, espresso, strawberries, blackberries and flowers are both soft and imposing while classic garrigue, fine tannins and a lengthy finish are woven together for a memorable experience.
The wine is then aged in oak barrels (from Burgundy) for at least 18 months, clarified by many decantations. This method gives finesse, power, and complex aromas, plus all the natural tannins. This is ultra-traditional, concentrated, flavorful Chateauneuf.
