Ch. La Nerthe Chateauneuf-Du-Pape Les Granieres 750 ML

Deeply colored, the 2016 Chateauneuf-du-Pape is a blend of 37% Grenache, 29% Syrah, 25% Mourvedre, and the rest Cinsault and other permitted varieties. With classic notes of currants, ripe black cherries, new saddle leather, and peppery herbs, it’s rich, full-bodied, and concentrated, with a pure, focused style that’s going to age gracefully for 15-20 years. It’s one of the finest classical cuvees I can remember..August/2018.
