A pure nose exuding perfectly ripe red fruit, enveloped by black plum, violet and green peppercorn. The palate is immediately greeted with a rush of acidity, rolling in a wave of black cherry, thyme stem, violets, iris, clove and black tea. Though currently a bit wound, it should shine with impressive nuances with additional time in bottle. Undeniably irresistible
Lots of smoke, pepper and blackberries on the nose, but also ripe red berries and dried flowers that expand as it aerates. At once ripe and fleshy, but also silky and graceful. Full-bodied. Underplayed power until you get right to the finish where you feel the beautifully crafted structure. A cuvee of 60% grenache from Le Pradel and 40% syrah from La Font du Pape. 75% whole bunch. Matured in a combination of Stockinger oak foudre and clay amphora. From biodynamically grown grapes with Demeter certification. Drink or hold.
The 2020 Châteauneuf Du Pape Habemus Papam is another vibrant, crunchy wine from this estate. Darker cherries, candied strawberries, and peppery garrigue are just some of the nuances, and it’s medium-bodied, has a supple, elegant, Burgundian, streamlined mouthfeel, fine tannins, and a great finish. It’s impeccably made and, as with the Les Saintes Vierges, is going to benefit from 2-4 years of bottle age and keep for over a decade.
