    In a few words ...

    This Châteauneuf-du-Pape from Maison Nicolas Père & Fils is the result of a meticulous selection of the appellation's finest winemakers. A medieval village where the Popes used to live, this village gave birth to this mythical southern cru, and this cuvée bears witness to its excellence.

    A wonderful discovery! To be opened 2h00 before drinking so that it expresses its full potential, the guests all enjoyed it, and some are planning to add it to their cellar.

    One word: excellent . A perfect match with lamb nuts. To be recommended without any problem.

    True to what you'd expect from a Chateauneuf du Pape: powerful, revealing a multitude of aromas on the nose but remaining perfectly balanced. Candied notes of wild berries. Excellent now and guaranteed to keep.

    Tasted in December 2020. A powerful Châteauneuf du Pape with good black fruit aromas. The tannins are beginning to soften. A little more cellaring and it will be perfect!

    Red fruit on the nose. On the palate, red and black fruits with a spicy finish. This wine was an excellent accompaniment to a barbecue, but be careful not to use it to spice up a dish.

    A good wine, powerful but very well balanced. Aromas of candied black fruit. Cellar for a few years to reveal its full potential.
