From 75-year-old Grenache grown in sandy soils, the 2021 Chateauneuf du Pape La Guigasse was fermented as whole clusters and will spend two whole years in older demi-muids. On the nose, intriguing spice, herbal and savory notes provide a compelling counterpoint to the cherry and raspberry fruit, while the medium to full-bodied palate is concentrated and rather sappy, finishing bright, fresh and long. The wine of the vintage?
Black raspberries, mulled cherries, savory herbs, and some meaty nuances all emerge from the 2021 Châteauneuf Du Pape La Guigasse, a nicely balanced, medium-bodied, elegant Grenache from this team that has ripe tannins, nicely integrated acidity, and a great finish. It's another Burgundian, incredibly successful wine in this challenging vintage.
