Country: France / Le Châtaignier
Variety: Grenache-Mourvèdre Rhône Valley
Winery: Domaine de Nalys / Châteauneuf-du-Pape
Clove, leather and cherry aromas lead the way, followed by more of the same flavors on the palate, joined by hints of darker, plummier fruit. This full-bodied blend of 95% Grenache and 5% Mourvèdre has some dusty tannins, but they’re balanced by ample fruit, at least for the moment. Drink now–2025.
