Clos des Papes Châteauneuf-du-Pape Rouge (2021)

Châteauneuf-du-Pape, Rhône Valley, France

Varietal(s): 55% Grenache, 35% Mourvèdre and 10% Syrah and ten other varietals

Looking exceptional this year, offering up scents of framboise and kirsch alongside dried flowers and Asian spices. Full-bodied yet weightless, silky and long, this is special stuff, complex and balanced.
