Winemaker Notes
The color is a beautiful ruby shine. The nose expresses a character asserted, chocolate and smoked on a background of red and black fruits light peppery spice. The notes of ginger and menthol offer up a beautiful freshness. On the palate, this wine is expressive, focused on freshness and minerality. It has a beautiful length on fruit and spices.

Starting with the 2018 Châteauneuf du Pape, this is the sort of classic, old school style of Châteauneuf du Pape that I adore. Revealing a medium ruby/purple color as well as a great nose of cured meats, new saddle leather, peppery garrigue, spice, and assorted red and black fruits, it hits the palate with medium-bodied richness, a supple, elegant texture, ripe tannins, and a good finish. Drink this meaty, almost truffly Provençal 2018 over the coming 10-12 years.
