2018 Chateauneuf du Pape Bargeton
Buying options
Tasting notes
More cool climate, peppery, meaty notes emerge from the 2018 Châteauneuf Du Pape Bargeton and it has a wonderful core of ripe currant and cherry fruits, complex garrigue, forest floor, and meaty, gamey aromatics, medium to full body, and a great finish. Enjoy this complex, layered 2018 any time over the coming 10-12 years.

Sourced mainly from an old-vine (mainly Grenache) parcel in the Cristia lieu-dit (sandy soils), Lesec's 2018 Chateauneuf du Pape Bargeton was made using all whole clusters. Delicate notes of roses, garrigue, cherries and subtle dried spices mingle easily on the nose of this full-bodied but delicate, filigreed wine. It's hugely complex and full flavored, without any excess weight or richness. It should be a beauty.
