This is an excellent wine to be enjoyed over the next 30+ years

with striking aromatics and tons of nuance

Eddie Feraud, Chateauneuf Du Pape other_regions_australia 8% Tempranillo and 3% RoussanneThe 2017 Chteauneuf Du Pape checks in 85% Grenache, 10% Mourvdre, and the balance a mix of varieties, all of which spent 18 months in foudre. Beautiful notes of blackcurrants, blueberries, violets, ground pepper, and sappy garrigue like nuances all emerge from this medium to full bodied effort that has outstanding purity of fruit, polished, ripe tannins, and a great finish. You could do much worse than to have a case of this in the cellar.
