In a few words ...
This wine has a "forgotten" balance, dominated by black fruit, while the aromas remain fresh, a sign of a perfectly ripe harvest. This wine is certainly calibrated to age for many years. .45% grenache, 10% mourvèdre, 45% syrah. Sustainable viticulture, manual harvesting, total destemming, fermentation in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks, classic vinification, pumping over, ageing in old oak foudre, blending, light filtration, traditional cork stopper.

A Châteauneuf du Pape marked by harmonious fruit and spicy notes. This wine succeeds in combining the sunny character of its appellation with the elegance and silky tannins of the greatest producers.

Magnificent Châteauneuf-du-Pape from Château Fortia. An explosion of red fruits on the palate and a long finish. A great success.

A very fine wine, powerful on the palate, with pronounced red fruit notes and good length. Drink again in 4-5 years.

Very nice discovery. Fruity and spicy.
Can also be enjoyed after a few years' ageing!
Château Fortia
Château Fortia is a domain from the region Vallée du Rhône in France, that produces 4 wines available to purchase, including the wine Cuvée du Baron 2020.
Appellation
Châteauneuf-du-Pape
The appellation Châteauneuf-du-Pape is part of the region of Vallée du Rhône from France which include Château Fortia and its 4 cuvées. Spread over The Rhone Valley and its rich, complex terroirs. The region is divided into two distinct subregions: Northern Rhone (known as Rhône Septentrional) and Southern Rhone (Rhône Méridional). In the former we find strong wines in beautiful colours with warm, spicy notes, produced by vineyards that stretch 4,700 ha along the Rhone. The latter, with an area of 71,000 ha, is much more important, and this is evident of course in its annual production of red, rosé and white wines quite unlike those of the Northern Rhone., this region is 3 million hectolitres per year of red wines, rosés, dry and sparkling white wines, and natural sweet wine..
