Chapoutier Châteauneuf-du-Pape Croix de bois 2008 - red wine

ESTATE PRICE!   

The 2008 M. Chapoutier Châteauneuf-du-Pape Croix de Bois, 100% Grenache from the Croix de Bois lieu-dit, is more fleshy and ripe than the Barbe Rac, with ripe, upfront blackberry and raspberry fruit that’s intermixed with smoked herb, mineral, and charred earth character that comes through more on the palate. Medium+ bodied and very well done, with a rich (especially for the vintage), full texture, good acidity, and a chewy, savory finish, this has enough fruit
