The emotion felt by Thierry and Jean Pierre when tasting this 95 year old Grenache age, inspired them to create this vintage where the grape variety expresses all its power and generosity. The Not For You! 2016 is a rich, expressive wine and concentrated with a delicate aromatic and tasty. It is a powerful wine with great elegance.
Finally in the bottle after close to 30 months in barrel, the 2016 Chateauneuf du Pape Not For You—100% Grenache planted in 1909—is a big, oversized wine that somehow retains intricate herbal and fresh-fruit notes. Hints of black tea accent black cherries on the nose, while the full-bodied palate is lush and warm yet finishes with briny intensity and outstanding length. Unfortunately, only a single barrique was produced. Anticipated Maturity: 2022-2030
