Domaine Font de Michelle
Châteauneuf-du-Pape Red Rhone Blend
Nose has deep blackberry fruit and a bit of garrigue-y earthy notes, a little iodine. Deeply rich in the mouth. The fruit has a very slight pruny element but does not detract. In the finish, however, the peppery heat of the alcohol (only a stated 14.5%) makes a prominent appearance. Long.

Lovely #châteauneuf #chateauneufdupape on the nose and on the palate it almost seems like a Pinot Noir. It has an amazing lightness and floral quality to it. Lavender and potpourri. Meaty and spicy on the palate. Good acidity with a pinch of VA showing. This is a good wine to taste for all of those who say they don’t like #Grenache #Garnacha

Mar 1st, 2020Splendidly spiced and peppery. Grenache ruling the roost. Lavender, Rosemary, juicy red fruit, spiced plum, lightly minty. Very good. Soft, but sweet red fruit, earthy, spiced and pungent spiced. Splendid stuff
