The 2017 Châteauneuf-du-Pape delivers a vibrant bouquet of ripe strawberries, dark cherry, and crushed raspberry laced with lavender, smoky minerals, and hints of exotic spice.
On the palate, velvety textures unfold with zesty red and black fruits, fresh herbs, and fine, structured tannins that echo the vintage’s balance of power and freshness. Mourvèdre’s deeper influence adds brooding cola and cured meat notes, reminiscent of benchmark Clos des Papes in a hotter year. Dense yet mouthwatering, it shows the structured depth of top Southern Rhône performers. Decant for an hour and pair with grilled ribeye or aged hard cheese.
