Tasting Note

Dazzling aromatic freshness and purity in this Châteauneuf-du-Pape Tradition. Ripe, dark fruit and beautiful cherry blossom fragrance combine with classic garrigue, pepper and sweet spice on the nose. The palate is rich and full with fine, dense tannins and excellent balance. The finish has a certain savoury, iodine-quality, backed up by black olive, rich dark fruit and a very long length.

Region Details

100% Rhône / Crus du Rhône / Châteauneuf-du-Pape

A confident wind is blowing through the Rhône valley; Syrah, Grenache and Viognier are the grapes of the moment, and the Mediterranean diet has been adopted around the world as the mark of a good life, further energising sales of Rhône wines. From Côte-Rôtie through to the Châteauneuf-du-Pape, there is a sense of optimism and forward motion.
While united by the presence of the river, the two halves of the region couldn’t be more different. The northern Rhône consists of a narrow band of vineyards that follow the course of the river as it heads south. The vineyards are dramatically steep in parts, and the climate is continental, similar to that of the southern extremes of Burgundy. In terms of the wines produced, Syrah reigns supreme as the only red varietal, while white wines invariably consist of a proportion of both Marsanne and Roussanne.

Other than the river, the south shares very little with the north. Flatter and much more Mediterranean in climate, it is Grenache that features most heavily for red wine production, supported mainly by Syrah and Mourvèdre. White wine production is equally as varied; Grenache Blanc, Bourbelenc, Clairette, Viognier, Marsanne and Roussanne are all found here. With such a wide base of varieties, styles and wines can and do vary dramatically.
