Châteauneuf-du-Pape

Full

Cork

A selection of fruit from 80- to 90-year-old vines across different Châteauneuf terroirs, with no destemming. This is fermented in concrete then aged for 15 months in a combination of foudres, demi-muids and concrete. Notes of baked forest fruits, cedar and incense lead to a ripe but perky palate with good acidity and a sense of freshness and liveliness. The tannins are robust but ripe - all the components are in place to suggest a long life. The alcohol is high but it doesn't taste overly unbalanced.
