France

Châteauneuf-du-Pape

Medium

Natural Cork

French Barrique

From the Boisset family’s estate in the southern Rhône, close to Avignon and overlooking the Durance River, this blend of Grenache, Syrah, and Mourvèdre shows a lucid ruby-garnet in the glass, revealing vivid garrigue scents, fired clay, rose petal, and cherry aromas. Immediately refreshing, with excellent lift courtesy of a wonderful vintage in Châteauneuf, elegant red berry fruits mingle with savoury pops of leather and earth, dried sage and classy cedar spices from aging in 228-litre French oak barrels over an eight-month period. All this is framed by soft, satiny tannins and a lengthy finish punctuated by an almost iron-like crushed stone minerality and blackcurrant nuances. Refined and classically styled.
