Chateau de Vaudieu Chateauneuf du Pape Amiral G 2020 750ml

Always all Grenache, the 2020 Châteauneuf Du Pape Amiral G. is another gem from this incredible estate that brings more opulence and sexiness than just about every other wine in the vintage. Ripe black cherries, licorice, roasted Provençal garrigue, and ground pepper are just some of its nuances, and it’s full-bodied, with a pure, utterly seamless mouthfeel, silky tannins, and a great, great finish. This is pure Provençal goodness that’s already hard to resist yet will evolve for 15-20 years in cold cellars.

Varietal

Red Rhone Blend

The Rhone region of France has been producing superb quality white blended wines for centuries, and is a region highly respected and esteemed around the world, with plenty of New World countries keen to emulate the styles and techniques displayed by the historic wineries and skilled vintners of the area. The secret to the Rhone’s success when it comes to blended white wines is the careful and expert selection of certain grape varietals, which each lend special features to the blended wine and bring balance and harmony to the bottle. Most commonly, blended white Rhone wines feature no more than two grapes of either the Viognier, Rousanne, Marsanne or Grenache Blanc varietals, and are renowned for their exceptional flavors and highly aromatic, floral character.
