Tasting notes
Deep ruby-hued and semi-opaque, the 2023 Châteauneuf Du Pape offers spiced red and black fruits, leather, and peppery herbs in its aromatics. Based on 50% Grenache, 29% Mourvèdre, and 21% Syrah from galets roulés and sandy soils, it was partially destemmed and aged 18 months in a mix of foudre, barrels, and concrete. Medium-bodied, it has a beautifully concentrated, elegant mouthfeel, fine tannins, and a great finish. This balanced wine has the depth and structure to improve over the coming 4-5 years and drink brilliantly over the following decade. Drink 2029-2039.

Fresher and livelier in comparison to the 2022, the 2023 Châteauneuf-du-Pape from Château la Nerthe reveals aromas of peonies, rose, flowers and dark cherries. Medium- to full-bodied, enveloping and elegant, it’s elegantly juicy with delicate tannins, concluding with a fresh, ethereal finish. This is a blend of 50% Grenache Noir, 29% Mourvèdre and 21% Syrah.
80% Roussanne and Grenache Blanc, 20% Clairette and Bourboulenc. Rich oak scent matched by ripe apricot fruit and full body. Weighty, yet given lift but floral fragrance. Sweetly spiced oak finish. Big and proud. (RH)
44% Roussanne, 41% Grenache Blanc, 11% Clairette and 4% Bourboulenc. Aged for 6 months, 50% in demi-muids, 20% in new barriques, 20% in old barriques and 10% in stainless-steel tanks. Certified organic. Tasted blind. Marzipan and almond nose. Real opulence and weight on the palate, yet underneath there is a zip and liveliness that is then supported by the toasty-oak char on the finish. All balanced – a complete, rounded wine. (AC)
