Domaine La Crau Chateauneuf du Pape 2018 750 ml

Description:

The 27-hectare estate dates back to the 17th century and belongs to the Puget family since then. The Domaine vineyards are located in the area of 'La Crau', notable for its pebble soils, which ranks as one of the best and most historic terroirs of the Chateauneuf-du-Pape Appellation.

Mainly Black Grenache and Syrah.

Deep red colour with violet hints. Complex aromas of black cooked fruits with spicy and balsamic notes. Expressive, round and generous palate with smooth tannins. Very supple start and  a long finish of spicy tones.

Open it at least 1 hour before serving at around 18°C. Although excellent now, this wine will gain in complexity and elegance with a cellaring period of 8 to 10 years.

Ideal with large game, spicy dishes, red meat in sauce and ripened cheese.
