tunningly complex nose of dried flowers beeswax and candied citrus peel. However the interplay of richness and freshness on the palate tops it. Extremely long finish where the fine tannins build and build at the salty climax. A cuvee based on clairette with grenache blanc roussanne and a little bourboulenc. Some of the vines date back more than a century but the majority are about 40-50 years old. Drink or hold.

Delicate aromas of spices licorice garrigue dark berries and dark cherries preface the 2021 Chateauneuf du Pape La Crau a medium to full-bodied layered and textured Châteauneuf-du-Pape. It is framed around velvety elegant tannins with good depth at the core and a pure precise texture that segues into a long delicate and ethereal finish. Superb! Published: Oct 31 2024

The Grand Vin from this great estate the 2021 Châteauneuf Du Pape reveals a semi-opaque ruby hue to go with a classic style in its ripe red and black berry fruits peppery garrigue leather earth black olive and baking spice-driven aromas and flavors. Medium-bodied nicely concentrated and balanced with fine tannins it's a beautiful wine in the vintage that should have 15 years of longevity.
