A tremendously vigorous wine with a warm and inviting intensity. The very bright ruby announces aromas of olive green, humus that prolongs a fleshy mouth, warm, kirsch with fresh and silky tannins.

80% Grenache with the remainder about equal parts Syrah & Mourvèdre but all from vines between 60 and 75 years old. It is sourced from the lieux dits of Montolivet (red clay and galets) and Les Bosquets (sand), which combines the power and structure of the former with a freshness and aromatic complexity of the latter.

Aged 18 months in 25-40hl French oak foudres and neutral 600L French oak demi-muids

A blend of 80% Grenache with 10% each Mourvèdre and Syrah, the 2020 Chateauneuf du Pape Reserve marries hints of dried flowers with black cherries and a touch of cocoa. Full-bodied and concentrated, this is less flattering to taste than the Les Olivets at this stage, but it should still be excellent in time.
