A beautiful red blend of various red grape varieties sourced and allowed in the AOC Châteauneuf-du-Pape by theSouthern Rhone region of France, including Grenache, Syrah, and Mourvèdre. The V. 2020 vintage is known for being wonderfully balanced, with a harmonious development of the grapes, and is considered a successful one for the region, producing wines with a good balance of fruit and freshness. 

This Mas Grange Blanche, “La Font des Bessounes" is intensely aromatic, with notes of red and blue bramble fruits, black pepper, garrigue, mulling spices, licorice, biscuits, and tobacco. 

On the palate id a Medium-to-full-bodied, with fresh acidity, and well-integrated alcohol with a minimum oak influence. Mouthfeel; well-structured, decent complexity, and gratifying potential to age as well. Cheers! — 18 days ago

Classic Bordeaux nose, if a bit muted. Had plenty of life at 20 yrs old. But a thinness on the finish that left us wanting more. — a month ago

Really great value St Emillion, opened up after about an hour and a half and drank super well. Balanced and rich while still acidic enough to keep it from being flabby. Real nice! — 4 months ago

Cloudy, golden yellow color with pale yellow edges and a medium body. Legs are loooong and slow, and the nose is all naturále. Slightly funky but big on the citrus, especially the lemon, with a big nose of ripe rind, and hints of salt and tart yellow fruits (star fruit and maybe Budda’s hand?). It didn’t start out that way, it was all natural wine funk at the beginning, but after an hour it opened up a lot and rested into its own. Palate has some sharp acidity, ripe lemon and almost cooked citrus fruits, kinda creamy and caramelized, with notes of brandy, apple cider like hints, vegetal notes (like celery?), creamy cinnamon sugar (like a coffee cake) even a little forest floor! The flavor and acid lingers long after your sip, and leaves a slight zingy flavor on the palate. Whew! — a month ago
