🍷 Tasting notes
A powerful yet remarkably refined Châteauneuf-du-Pape, showing ripe red cherry, blackcurrant and dark berries, layered with liquorice, mint, garrigue and delicate spice. Rich and complete on the palate, with supple, silky fruit, dense yet elegant tannins and impressive length. The 2023 has also been described as soft and supple, with sweet ripe red fruit and a creamy, herb-accented finish.
🍽️ Food pairing
Excellent with herb-roasted lamb shoulder, beef tournedos, beef bourguignon, capon, duck or slow-cooked game. The estate specifically recommends lamb shoulder with herbs, tournedos Rossini, capon and beef bourguignon.
