Impressively pure, multilayered, and long (the finish lasts 50+ seconds), this is a killer Chateauneuf du Pape that should age effortlessly for two decades. This estate, nestled just south of Rayas, has a fabulous terroir, but they only recently began exploiting it to its full potential. The traditional Chateauneuf du Pape cuvee is aged 85% in tank and 15% in barrel. The blend is generally 80% Grenache and the rest Syrah and Mourvedre. The luxury cuvee, Val de Dieu, is composed of 62% Grenache, 23% Syrah, and 15% Mourvedre, with 55% aged in tank and the Syrah and Mourvedre components aged in 600 liter demi-muids.
