A beautiful red blend of various red grape varieties sourced and allowed in the AOC Châteauneuf-du-Pape by theSouthern Rhone region of France, including Grenache, Syrah, and Mourvèdre. The V. 2020 vintage is known for being wonderfully balanced, with a harmonious development of the grapes, and is considered a successful one for the region, producing wines with a good balance of fruit and freshness.
This Mas Grange Blanche, “La Font des Bessounes" is intensely aromatic, with notes of red and blue bramble fruits, black pepper, garrigue, mulling spices, licorice, biscuits, and tobacco.
On the palate id a Medium-to-full-bodied, with fresh acidity, and well-integrated alcohol with a minimum oak influence. Mouthfeel; well-structured, decent complexity, and gratifying potential to age as well. Cheers!

Classic Chateauneuf. Great red blend of Grenache and Syrah; 2016 vintage, let it open for an hour then serve.

Fantastic CDP. Beautiful ruby color, notes of cream, leather, soft yet juicy and lingers with just the right amount of acidity on the finish. 14.5% and beautifully balanced.

Very distinctively #chateauneufdupape with a sweeter character combined with some spice. Quite a nice wine but not the best CDP I’ve had.
