Notes From The Distributor:
TASTING NOTE
The dark, deep, inky color of the wine shows immediately, stemming from the concentration of the vintage. Nose of blackcurrants, black tea and dried flowers stands out. The mouth is rich, fruity and velvety with an incredibly layered tannic structure. The wine is balanced and pure with strong intense and incredibly long aging potential.
FOOD PAIRING
To drink with lamb or beef stew with ‘grand veneur’ sauce, duck fillet.
POINTS OF DISTINCTION
Produced by one of Châteauneuf-du-Pape’s oldest and most storied estates
