his comes from four plots in Châteauneuf and is 75% Grenache, 15% Syrah and 10% Mourvèdre. The Grenache and Cinsault is 60 to 80 years old, the Syrah 40 years old. Half whole-bunch vinified. A complex nose of leather, sweet spices, meat, tobacco leaf and fresh mint. Warm terracotta tiles! On the palate, this immediately stands out for its finesse of tannins, which are equally high-level to the preceding wines, but are fine and open-weave, allowing you space to ‘breathe’. There is texture here, backed up by a firm kick of alcohol to be sure, but all is in balance, all is well. Fabulous.
