Tasting note
Powerful and multi-layered red from old vines, full of smoke and velvet, cherry and Kirsch.
In the press
Much more powerful and closed, the 2020 Châteauneuf Du Pape Vieilles Vignes comes more from the La Crau and La Janasse lieux-dits and is the usual blend of mostly Grenache with a touch of Syrah. Blackberries, graphite, scorched earth, pepper, and sappy garrigue all emerge on the nose, and it's full-bodied, has beautiful concentration, polished tannins, and a great finish. Nothing is out of place, and this perfectly balanced, authoritative, powerful, and incredibly impressive 2020 will benefit from 3-4 years of bottle age and evolve for 15-20 years in cold cellars.
Vinification
Very old Grenache vines the vineyard site was planted in 1912 on sand and clay soils. The yields are a low 30-32 hl /ha and the grapes are picked and sorted by hand with partial destalking (80%). Maceration is for 21 days, oak ageing for 12 months.
Food Match
Grilled pork chops with aniseed rub and mango mojo, grilled paillards of beef with red wine and port sauce or grilled hoisin-marinated butterflied leg of lamb.
