Alain Jaume Domaine Grand Veneur Châteauneuf-Du-Pape Vieilles Vignes 2019 Alain Jaume Domaine Grand Veneur

Châteauneuf-du-Pape Vieilles Vignes is  de crème de la crème van het domein. 2019 is weer echt een klassieker.

‘The Châteauneuf Du Pape Vieilles Vignes is based on 45% each of Grenache and Mourvèdre, with the balance Syrah, all destemmed and raised in 55% new French oak. Gorgeous cassis, violet, graphite, fruitcake, and peppery herbs define this brilliant effort, and it’s full-bodied, with a pure, seamless texture, wonderful tannins, and one heck of a great finish. This magical 2019 is going to benefit from 4-5 years of bottle age (it’s brilliant even today) yet keep for 20 years or more. Châteauneuf du Pape lovers need to have this in their cellar!’ Jeb Dunnuck 99/100
