Chateauneuf-du-Pape Red Pie VI has notes of blackberry jelly and hints of aromatic herbs emerge once the wine has had a chance to breathe. Soft, velvety tannins, with a balance of concentration and complexity are evident on the palate.
Vintage 2020: There was a healthy build up of water reserves during the mild, wet winter that preceded the 2020 Châteauneuf-du-Pape vintage. This enabled the vines to successfully navigate a growing season characteristed by hot and dry conditions. Budburst and flowering were without problem and were followed in June by a perfect burst of rain. The harvest came in during the month of September, starting with Syrah and ending with Grenache. Despite the intense summer heat and early ripening, the wines are remarkably fresh, displaying elegance and purity of fruit. |
