Floral overtones with gentle garrigue notes

Tasted from an ex-château bottle at BI Wine & Spirits Calon-Segur dinner in London

The medium-bodied flavors are not quite as dense though they are

This way overdelivers for its modest appellation-wide status

The wine was vinified using 60% whole cluster and aged for around 22 months in 50% new French oak barrique and 50% used French barrique

Charbonniere, Chateauneuf Du Pape other_regions_australia Floral overtones with gentle garrigueBright red. High pitched aromas of red berries, cinnamon and mace, enhanced by a suave floral quality and a hint of orange zest. Distinctly energetic and pure, accented by lively red fruit flavors and strong mineral spine. Refreshingly brisk on the finish, which features tangy red berry and spice notes. This wine shows the best aspects of the vintage. Josh Raynolds
