From: Southern Rhone, France

Varietals: 80% Grenache, 20% Syrah

Tasting Notes: This wine beguiles with aromas of lively red fruit and fresh strawberries seasoned with a touch of warm spice. Flavors of dark raspberry and cream lend themselves to a luxuriant texture, adding a generous weight to the wine. The wine’s abundant fruit and a round, seductive mouth feel culminate in a long, elegantly spiced finish.

"The 2019 Châteauneuf Du Pape Les Demoiselles reveals a healthy ruby hue to go with spicy aromas of black raspberries, pepper, and forest floor as well as a subtle marine-like salty, sushi wrapper character. Beautiful on the palate, with solid purity of fruit, ripe, polished tannins, and medium-bodied richness and depth, it’s going to benefit from 2-3 years of bottle age and evolve nicely for 10-15.” –Jeb Dunnuck (91 points)

“An open, welcoming style, round and very tasty with blueberry fruit tones. Modern in the best possible way, with forward fruit but no oak aromas.” –Madeline Triffon, MS Selection

Pairing: The winery suggests drinking this wine with a leg of lamb, braised beef shank, lobster with butter and rosemary, roasted squash with butter and thyme, or Brie cheese.
