WINEMAKER'S NOTES:
Bright crimson in color, this wine offers a nose of red fruits and fresh strawberries. It presents a round, greedy, and ample mouthfeel with bright, spicy red fruit aromas. On the palate, flavors of raspberry and cream, a lush texture, generous weight, and a long, spicy finish make it the complete package, perfect for early consumption.
Pairs excellently with grilled beef and lamb, grilled lobster with butter and rosemary, Brie de Meaux, and roasted pumpkin with thyme and garlic. This wine is also a great match for casual BBQ fare, complementing the cedar and wood smoke aromas that enhance any steak on the barbecue.
TASTING NOTES:
Smooth and silky, this attractive, medium-bodied Chateauneuf has delicate red-cherry and baking-spice aromas. Discreet and soft tannins underline this. Good harmony, but only moderate length. A cuvee of 80% grenache and 20% syrah. Sustainable. Drink or hold.
- James Suckling, 90 pts.
The 2023 Chateauneuf-du-Pape Les Demoiselles checks in as 80% Grenache and 20% Syrah that was all destemmed and aged in a mix of concrete tanks and very old barrels. It has a medium-bodied, fresh, elegant, incredibly pretty style as well as lovely notes of ripe strawberries, raspberries, sappy flowers, and a hint of garrigue. I love its overall balance, and it has light tannins and outstanding length. Drink this charming, ethereal, Burgundian style Chateauneuf du Pape over the coming 5-7 years.
