Grape Varieties of Châteauneuf du Pape "Tradition" Cuvée:
Grenache, Syrah, Mourvèdre
Winemaking:
Traditional with partial destemming. Fermentation lasts at least 12 days with temperature control in 100 hl stainless steel vats. A light filtration on plates is done if necessary during bottling. The wine then spends 6 months in large oak barrels.
Tasting of Châteauneuf du Pape:
The color is a rather dark ruby with still a hint of purple, indicating that this bottle can be "waited" for at least a year. On the nose, the typicity of the appellation is clearly announced: you can already sense that the wine will charm with its roundness, suppleness, elegance, and finesse. As always, it is the expression of Grenache, the main grape for this cru, on the unique terroir of Châteauneuf du Pape. Aromas of spices, truffle, and roasted almond fill your senses while a gentle warmth gradually takes place. The wine has a slight "pinot" character reminiscent of Burgundy, adding complexity. We recommend decanting wines from this appellation to enhance their olfactory and gustatory qualities. Do not drink too cold, but rather at around 18/19°C, and especially in large glasses.
Wine Ageing :
10-15 years
