Châteauneuf-du-Pape Vieilles Vignes

2020
Chante Cigale
France
Rhône

65% Grenache, 20% Syrah, 10% Mourvèdre, 5% Cinsault. The only difference between the Vieilles Vignes cuvée and the CdP Tradition cuvée is the age of the vines which here reach 100 years old. The wines are made in the same exact way: 70% in tank (stainless steel and cement) and 30% in used barrels.

"A typical South of France smell here with small berries, dried herbs, thyme and hints of roasted meat. Medium body with fine tannins. Dense and layered with fresh acidity and a slightly chewy and fruity finish. Some pepper, too. 70% grenache, 20% syrah and 10% mourvedre. Better after 2024."
