From Chateauneuf-du-Pape

Vintage:	2021
Description:	97 De / 93-95 Wa / 18 Jr. Approximately 267 cases produced. Orange tint to the pale red. Extraordinary nose, like walking through a pine forest after the rain. Fine tannins and a gentle plumpness to the palate. Good acidity and a mineral note on the finish. Ethereal stuff, a beautiful Grenache. Grown on sand in Pignan nord, no destemming and a very light extraction, matured in demi-muids for 24 months. 3,200 bottles produced.-Matt Walls, Decanter. From 35-year-old Grenache in Pignan, vinified as whole clusters and then aged 24 months in older demi-muids, this is a floral, ethereal expression of Chateauneuf-du-Pape, marked by scents of roses, lavender, strawberry compote and hints of pine resin. Medium to full-bodied, it's silky-textured, sappy, slightly green-tinged, refreshing and long on the finish.-Joe Czerwinski, The Wine Advocate. 100% Grenache. Matured in demi-muids for 24 months. Cask sample. Tasted blind. Eucalyptus, rosemary and crushed red fruits – a mineral, chalky note beneath as well. Good, fresh acidity and a real floral touch to the mid palate too. Fine-grained tannin and such elegance. This shows grace, beauty and surprising concentration! The finish is long, fine and already very appealing. Wonderful.--Alistair Cooper Mw, Jancis Robinson
