Tasting notes
From the sandy soils around the estate, the 2015 Châteauneuf-du-Pape Mourre des Perdrix (69% Grenache, 15% each of Syrah and Mourvèdre, and a splash of Cinsault) is medium ruby-colored and offers classic notes of strawberries, cherries, loamy/sandy soil and dried flowers. It's beautifully polished, elegant and silky on the palate, and scores high on charm and accessibility.

On this day, the 2015 Chateauneuf du Pape Mourre des Perdrix, off sandier soils, wasn't any more impressive than the regular cuvée. Marked by stone fruit and cherries, this medium to full-bodied wine isn't particularly rich or concentrated, just very pretty in a more delicate style.
69% Grenache, 15% Mourvèdre, 15% Syrah, 1% Cinsault. Destemmed. Vinified at 28 °C in tronconic vats (90%) and stainless steel (10%). Aged in tronconic vats (75%), demi-muids (20%) and old barriques (5%). pH 3.7, TA 2.98 g/l. Tasted blind. Healthy crimson. Some light savoury notes on the nose. Then masses of sweet, ripe, juicy fruit and relatively light tannins. Can’t quite see why this is a Cuvée Spéciale. Astringent finish. (JR)
