Cdp Cuvee du Papet 2023

Produced in the Châteauneuf-du-Pape appellation, located in the Southern Rhône Valley, France. This region is renowned for its prestigious red blends and unique terroir characterized by galets roulés (large rounded stones) and Mediterranean climate.

The Cuvée du Papet is a blend primarily composed of traditional Rhône grape varieties, typically including Grenache, Syrah, and Mourvèdre. These varietals contribute to the wine’s complexity and structure.

The wine is crafted using traditional vinification methods typical of Châteauneuf-du-Pape. Grapes are hand-harvested and sorted to ensure quality. Fermentation occurs in temperature-controlled vats, followed by aging in a combination of stainless steel and oak barrels to develop depth and balance.

• Appearance: Deep ruby red color with purple hues.
• Aroma: Intense and complex nose featuring ripe red and black fruits, hints of spices, herbs de Provence, and subtle smoky notes.
• Palate: Full-bodied and well-structured with smooth tannins, balanced acidity, and flavors of blackberry, cherry, licorice, and pepper.
