2021 Alain Jaume & Fils Domaine Grand Veneur Chateauneuf-du-Pape Les Origines Rhone

It boasts an inky/purple color in addition to a gorgeous perfume of crushed rocks, jammy black fruits, charcoal and graphite, blackberry aromas. The palate holds excellent fruit character and has a great kick. The tannins are round and the finish is long with mint and dark fruit notes. It is all very much together and harmonious, and has great aging potential.

An outstanding Chateauneuf du Pape expressing the quintessence of its terroir.
