"60% 110 year-old Grenache in Cristia Haut lieu-dit and 40% Mourvedre from 55 year-old vines. The vines are sandy clay soil with eastern exposure, which gives All aged in wood, 1/3 in new oak, 1/3 in barrels of 1 year, 1/3 in demi-muids. Destemmed." —importer |
Critical Acclaim | |||
"Still aging in older barrels, the 2017 Châteauneuf Du Pape Renaissance checks in as a normal blend of 60% Grenache and 40% Mourvèdre from 110-year-old vines and the sandy soils of the lower Cristia lieu-dit. It's a sexy, ripe, opulent effort that has loads of ripe blackberry, pot roast, chocolate, and incense aromas and flavors. Ripe, powerful, and decadently textured, it's a full-bodied, rich, beautiful wine that has ripe tannins, some oak to integrate, and a great finish." —Jeb Dunnuck |
