The 2017 Ch?teauneuf Du Pape from this team checks in as 60% Grenache, 20% Syrah, 15% Mourv?dre and the rest Cinsault and other permitted varieties brought up in foudre and barrels. A sexy nose of kirsch liqueur, blackberries, flowery incense, and ground pepper gives way to a medium to full-bodied, layered, elegant wine that has plenty of tannins, terrific balance, and a great finish.
