In a few words ...
A historic Château cuvée that reveals the mythical taste of a great Châteauneuf-du-Pape wine. The wine is a blend of Grenache, Syrah and Mourvèdre, aged 12 months in oak barrels. Powerful and richly aromatic, this wine is the ideal accompaniment to a piece of red meat.
Tasting notes
Appearance
Beautiful, deep ruby-red colour with violet highlights.
Aroma
The first nose is spicy, then powerfully fruity and ripe: strawberry jam and raspberry coulis.
Wine Fruity | Spicy
Taste
The palate is smooth and velvety. Very full and greedy. Chiselled tannins. The finish is very jammy, with a hint of menthol that brings back a bit of tone and freshness.

This Chateauneuf du Pape is young but already round, fruity and very pleasant on the palate.
Its color is a pleasure to behold and the tears are already abundant.

Tasted in January 2021. This Chateauneuf du Pape is all finesse. The nose is very intense and the palate fruity. It's a gourmet wine, with a slightly alcoholic finish.

A well-balanced wine with smooth tannins and fruity notes, already ready to drink, it will develop more complex notes after a few years' cellaring.

Smooth and rich, this was a beautiful wine. Red fruit on the nose pulls you in. Lots of dark fruit, prune, dark cherry on the palate. Just lovely.

Order of 6 bottles arrived with a kind note from the owner (not often, thank you).
The wine is very Chateauneuf-like, still a little young,
but the ripe, smoky notes really appealed to two guests (including me), while one was a little less appreciative of the wine's power (she'd just drunk a 1970 Rhenish Riesling, and the transition was fatal).
Very satisfied with this purchase

Still too young to drink but this wine holds a lot of promise: earth and tobacco aromas with tannins already subtle. Probably another 2-3 years to peak

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 5 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..
