From Chateauneuf-du-Pape

| Description: | 94-96 Jd / 95 JS / 93-95 Wa. The 2020 Châteauneuf Du Pape Cuvée Mourre Des Perdrix comes from slightly more sandy soils around the estate and is 69% Grenache, 15% each Syrah and Mourvedre, and a splash of Cinsault. Ripe cherries, dried raspberries, spice box, Provençal herbs, and savory flower notes all define the bouquet, and it hits the palate with full-bodied richness, a seamless, elegant mouthfeel, ultra-fine tannins, and a great finish. This is always the most seamless and finesse-driven of Charbonniere's releases, and while it will drink well on release, it has the capacity to evolve for 15-20 years. - Jeb Dunnuck. I love the enveloping nose of ripe red plum and Mediterranean herbs of this stunning Chateauneuf. Excellent concentration and stacks of fine tannins. The harmony and vitality on the full-bodied palate is remarkable. Very long, emphatically dry, and stony finish. A cuvee of 69% grenache, 15% syrah, 15% mourvedre and 1% cinsault. Drink or hold. - James Suckling. The 2020 Chateauneuf du Pape Cuvee Mourre des Perdrix (roughly 70% Grenache and 15% each Mourvèdre and Syrah) offers up garrigue-laden, lavender-scented florals, plus oodles of purple raspberries. Full-bodied and silky, it finishes long and fresh. It looks like another excellent vintage here. - Jc, Wine Advocate |
