The Rhone wine region is located in southeastern France. It runs along the Rhone River roughly from Lyon in the north to Avignon in the south. It is divided into two main sub-regions: the Northern Rhone, running from Lyon to Montelimar, and the Southern Rhone, from Montelimar to Avignon. Although wines of all color are made, both regions are most famous for thier red wine. The Northern Rhone is known for its full-bodied red wines made from Syrah grapes with the possible inclusion of some white grapes, while the Southern Rhone is known for its blends of Grenache, Syrah, and Mourvèdre grapes. The region has a long history of wine production, dating back to the ancient Romans with the sites of some former Roman vineyards being replanted surrounding the town of Vienne.

Nuanced and curious scent profile unfolds on the nose, with a dominant chalky character giving way to a sweet and fruity fig note, accompanied by a tangy raspberry and a whisper of oak. On the palate, the flavors are similarly layered, with a concentrated milk chocolate and cream grip highlighted by a tart raspberry and a candied grapefruit note. at the same time the wine shows promise, it could benefit from a bit more time to integrate its various components, resulting in a good but not outstanding vintage.

Highly regarded CDP that delivers a rich, layered experience. The viscosity is relatively low, and the equilibrium is tilted towards the acidity and sweetness, leaving a enduring impression on the palate.

Truly superb Chateauneuf Du Pape, with a rich, smooth touch and a deep, fruity flavor profile. The wine's complexity is expertly balanced, with suggestions of strawberry, plum, and licorice emerging on the palate. The tail is long and satisfying, with a gentle kick of alcohol that adds density and nuance. Overall, a truly outstanding wine that is sure to please even the most discerning palates. I would highly recommend it to anyone looking to try a high-quality Chateauneuf Du Pape.
