A pleasant fruity wine with notes of pear, apricot and floral hints...fresh, harmonious and well balanced...ideal with starters, delicate first course dishes, fish, white meats...or perfect for a very hot summer day!
A delicious dessert wine. Pairs particularly well with flavors of almonds, berry fruit, dark chocolate...or as an accompaniment for rich, blue veined cheeses...
The nose begins with rose petals, strawberry and baking spices. On the palate, fresh raspberry and cranberry meld into flavors of black tea and deeper, woodsy-blackberry creating a complex, textural mouthfeel. Black cherry, sous bois and a hint of tobacco lead into the long mineral finish.
...a wonderful tribute to the stony plateau of Piedlong, the highest area in Chateauneuf-du-Pape. Very old Gernache Noir, particularly at home on these soils, contributes 90% of the blend. The remaining 10% is Mourvédre grown in the neighboring distrect of Pignan.
