NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER
This M. Chapoutier Châteauneuf-du-Pape Barbe Rac is a bold and intense wine.On the nose, it reveals aromas of dark fruit, graphite, and spices. The palate is full-bodied, with flavors of ripe dark cherry and blackberry, along with notes of smoky minerals and an underlying earthiness. The tannins are big and firm, but well-integrated and balanced with a long, spicy finish. This is a complex and powerful wine that will benefit from some aging.

ORIGINS
Winery: M. Chapoutier
Region: Rhone
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.CUSTOMER RATING
