Vieux Papes

Bosquet des Papes

Cuvée Tradition Châteauneuf-du-Pape Grenache Blend 2022

Reddish in color with medium intensity

Fruity nose and medium in body with medium plus acidity.

Dry on the palate and complex.

Showing raspberries, cherries, spices, light oak ,chocolates and peppercorn.

Long finish with round tannins and tangy raspberries.

This young Grenache blend from Châteauneuf-du-Pape is starting to drink nicely, but needs 5 years in the bottle to mature properly. Will continue to age nicely in the next 15 years.

Showing good structure and very spicy.

Good right out of the bottle and better with airtime.

Good by itself as a sipping wine.

A blend of 75% Grenache, 12% Syrah, 10% Mourvedre and 3% of local grapes. Aged for 18 months in large French oak barrels.

15% alcohol by volume.

90 points.

Chante Le Merle Vieilles Vignes Châteauneuf-du-Pape Grenache - Mourvedre Blend 2010

Close to pop and pour. Not juicy, but lots of red fruit — strawberry, raspberry, cherry (the pits). Also plum. Some leather. Minerals and clay. A little violet. Dried rose petals. Still has some grip — plum-skin-like. Acidity balances it all very nicely. Really good. 92. — a month ago

Vieux Château Saint André

Montagne-St. Émilion Red Bordeaux Blend 2022

Nose is minty and spicey. Palate is deep and rich with terrific mineral spine and wonderful structure. Ripe but substantial tannin. Nose has notes of ripe plum, peanuts and a saline element. Really good energy and depth. Not the most elegant wine but this has tremendous material and its own grace and charm. This needs air but I really like it. — a month ago

Kirkland Signature

Cuvée du Terroir des Papes Châteauneuf-du-Pape Grenache Blend 2023

Impressive for such a young CDP. Still trying to wrap my head around a Kirkland signature CDP. But the base line is this - tasting blind I would pair almost any food with this wine, and isn’t that really the point of CDP. — a month ago
