Châteauneuf-du-Pape AOC 2018 Cellier des Princes
Description
The Châteauneuf-du-Pape of Cellier des Princes originates from the pebbly and sandy soils of the village of Courthezon, located in the north-east part of the homonymous denomination.
It is mostly obtained from Grenache grapes, with small additions of Mourvèdre and Syrah, harvested at the perfect degree of ripeness. Fermentation takes place at a controlled temperature of 28-30 ° C, with maceration of 28-35 days. The wine ages in concrete tanks for 8-12 months without any passage in wood, so as to allow the purest expression of the predominant grape, Grenache, and its terroir.
It has an intense ruby red color. On the olfactory examination it turns out to be broad and elegant: aromas of raspberry, blackberry and cherry appear at the edge of the glass and then give space to spicy tones of lavender, thyme and rosemary. It is characterized by an excellent balance in the mouth, with velvety and well integrated tannins, demonstrating an unequaled finesse largely due to its terroir of origin.
Fabulous in the company of roasted meats and game, it is recommended in combination with medium-long matured cheeses.
