TASTING NOTES
Aromas of undergrowth, black olives, thyme and cherry. Bottled unfiltered.
In 2019, hot sultry days were followed by cool nights and that is exactly what clay soils strewn with pebbles in Châteauneuf-du-Pape love. The resultant wines combine power and freshness. Unquestionably a stellar vintage.
