The 2023 Châteauneuf Du Pape Cuvee Des Felix is cut from the same cloth yet offers a touch more density and concentration. Provençal garrigue, sandalwood, lavender, saddle leather, and sweet red and black fruits all shine in this beauty, which has medium to full-bodied richness, a seamless, layered mouthfeel, and enough tannins to allow it to evolve gracefully for 10-15 years. It's liquid Provence! Don't miss it. This cuvée is 60% Grenache, 30% Mourvèdre, and the other 10% a blend of assorted varieties that was fermented with no destemming and will spend two years in a mix of demi-muids and used barrels.
