Cellier des Princes
Châteauneuf-du-Pape Red Rhône Blend
Châteauneuf-du-Pape, Southern Rhône, Rhône, France
Aromas of “musty hay in the barn.” (It’s a good thing!). But not full of Brett, which makes a bit less than typical. Lighter bodied because this vintage is primarily Grenache-based. Big notes of Baker’s chocolate and raw meat. Hints of herbs, spices, red fruits and a little bit of leather, tobacco and violet. Smooth tannins. Nice wine. Revisited in June 2020. Not your typical CDP.

Deep red with dark berry aromas and spicy notes. On the palate blackberry and plum flavors a bit of oak and tobacco with rustic tannins, good balance ending with earthy mineral notes.

Spotted this 100-year co-op bottling front the great 16’ vintage for only $25, and could not resist to pick up one.
Stewed black and blue berries, black currant, ripe raspberry, dry herbs, hint of cured meat and leather on the nose. Medium body. The candied red fruits on the the palate feels a bit syrupy to me. The medium acidity leaning towards sour.
Predominately Grenache. Great price for a CdP.

One of the softest CNP I’ve had in a while; just easy drinking and mellow

Tart red fruit on the nose, translucent garnet color. This is a mostly Grenache CDP and tastes like it. Lighter bodied, nice mix of tannins and acid with a fruit forward profile, slightly meaty and spicy. Very smooth, very much enjoyed this for the price.
