Cuvée Pure Châteauneuf-du-Pape Grenache

2011. So much energy, focus, fine tannins for ages, strawberry and spice. Another testament of a screaming 15% alcohol Grenache.

One of my fav Pure's so far, spicy, focused, vibrant, kirsch, with some interesting whole cluster ferment character

2011 Pure CdP. So broad and expressive, wow.

#grenache o'clock getting ready to pick last of estate Grenache at 23+

Very nice wine for an “off” vintage, all the CdP characteristics come to play here. Just a nice wine in a great place wish I could get this on a regular basis. Fruit is up front without being in your face, no sweetness but great balance, must be the 100+ year old vines.

Great old vine Grenache wine. Very well balanced, clean fruit and well integrated tannins. Shows what a great producer can do in a not so great year.
