Chateauneuf-du-Pape Gloire de Mon Grand-Pere•2023

Ripe wild strawberry and black cherry roll out of the glass in Bosquet des Papes Châteauneuf-du-Pape A la Gloire de Mon Grand-Père 2023, shaded by spice, dark cocoa tones and a faint smokiness. On the palate it feels dense and muscular yet still graceful, packed with sweet black fruit and framed by chewy tannins that promise more polish and complexity after a few years of rest. This is a serious, Grenache-driven Châteauneuf that trades immediate charm for depth, power and a long, savory finish.
