Tasting notes
Mingling aromas of licorice, black cherry and plum, redcurrant, garrigue and discreet hints of leather, the 2019 Châteauneuf-du-Pape Les Trois Sources is full-bodied and spicy, wrapped in a firm tannic structure and concluding with good persistence on the complex finish.

More cassis, morello cherry, Asian spice, and a beautiful sense of minerality and loamy earth emerge from the 2019 Châteauneuf Du Pape Les Trois Sources, a full-bodied, concentrated blend of 60% Grenache, 15% each of Cinsault and Syrah, and the balance Mourvèdre. Coming all from the estate’s sandy soils in the northern part of the appellation, this incredibly concentrated, textured wine has perfect balance, building tannins, and a great finish. Give this beauty another 4-5 years in the cellar and drink it over the following two decades or more.
Cask sample, tasted at the domaine. Youthful and pure nose, vibrant silky a subtle touch of garrigue. Plenty of vibrancy on the palate, with lavender and cocoa nib, there is a lovely sweetness to the fruit but also savouriness underneath. Very soft and deep tannins – lovely purity. (AC)
