Domaine Paul Autard
Cuvée La Côte Ronde Châteauneuf-du-Pape Red Rhône Blend
Châteauneuf-du-Pape, Southern Rhône, Rhône, France
A very pleasant surprise.
Haven’t had a CdP in ages, and this is impressive. So youthful and fruity, buttressed with cloves and nutmeg. Presents textured on the mid palate with a solid weight profile. Finishes plummy and sweet with a hint of anise.

White pepper - straight forward - lacks minor grapes and complexity

Very interesting to see a 50/50 Syrah Grenache from Chateauneuf. That being said, this is a very good wine!

Plums, pepper and earth. Reminds me of the figgy taste of pouch chewing tobacco. I love CDP. This is still tight but opens nicely in glass.
