Tasting notes
A blend of 70% Grenache and 30% Mourvèdre, the 2019 Châteauneuf-du-Pape states 15% alcohol on the label. It displays aromas of blood orange, ripe red and black fruits, garrigue and licorice. The full-bodied palate is marked by slightly coarse tannins. If I could choose between the 2019 and 2020, I would go for the 2020.

A tank-aged blend of 70% Grenache and 30% Mourvèdre, the 2019 Chateauneuf du Pape shows a gentle garrigue influence and a hint of mint on the nose, alongside super-ripe black cherries and blackberries. It's full-bodied and rich but silky, then turns tougher and more tannic on the finish. Give it a couple of years to smooth out.
The 2019 Châteauneuf Du Pape Famille Chaussy Selection (60% Grenache, 20% Syrah, and 20% Mourvèdre) sports a deep purple hue as well as a great nose of more black fruits, toasted spice, graphite, and chalky minerality. Beautiful on the palate as well, it's medium to full-bodied, has a dense, layered texture, and outstanding length.
