Chateau de Vaudieu 2021 Chateauneuf du Pape Grand Vin 75cl

Chateau de Vaudieu is a well-established winery founded in the 18th century and has been run by the Brechet family for 50 years. This is an important estate with 70 hectares of vineyards in the appellation, situated just to the south of Chateau Rayas, most of which are over 65 years old.

This wine is the so-called 'Grand Vin' made from their best parcels and oldest vines. This is proper Chateauneuf, exactly what we have been looking for. The 2019 is perfectly drinkable right now, but with a few years it will continue to blossom.

This wine is dark ruby red in colour. On the nose, there are intense aromas of cherries and raspberries with notes of herbs, liquorice and black pepper. It has a lively acidity with a good concentration of supple tannins evolving towards graphite notes. A long, lingering finish.
