The brand new arrival of this classic-style Chateauneuf is supremely delicious and a sensational enhancement to a wide array of menus since it is decidedly not an over-the-top, high alcohol sledgehammer. This 2021 edition charms with a bouquet of star gazer lilies and Provençal lavender then seduces the palate with ripe black and blue fruits, complex baking spices and potpourri. The memorable finish dazzles with notes of tobacco, roasted herbs, and Darjeeling tea. The bold tannins will enhance menus featuring fresh cheeses, savory sausages and roast lamb with oil-cured olives. Decanting is strongly recommended prior to 2025 and you’ll enjoy through 2029 if cellared properly.
