Château dates back to 1560, records suggest it might go back to 12th century making it one of oldest estates in the heart of the Châteauneuf-du-Pape AOC region near Avignon. Ruby with aromas of red fruit. Blend of 33% Grenache, 33% Syrah, 33% Mouvèdre & splash of mostly Cinsault. Aromas of berry fruits, oak & sweet spice. On the palate flavors of raspberry, cherry & blackberry with hints of oak, leather, vanilla spice & black pepper, aged in oak (20% new), complex & elegant with fine soft tannins, long finish. Just getting good now, will age well.
