The Clos des Papes Châteauneuf-du-Pape 2020 is an exceptional cuvée that embodies the full nobility of its terroir. Crafted from a meticulous blend of Grenache, Mourvèdre, and Syrah, it boasts remarkable concentration while maintaining undeniable elegance. Deep aromas of black fruits, garrigue, and sweet spices intertwine with subtle notes of cocoa and licorice.
The palate is full-bodied and silky, supported by an exceptionally fine tannic structure, offering a strikingly long finish. A great aging wine, it can be enjoyed today after proper aeration but will fully reveal its potential after a few years in the cellar.

Note de Dégustation de Jeb Dunnuck

The 2020 Châteauneuf Du Pape was brilliant and is certainly one of the stars of the vintage. Composed of 55% Grenache, 30% Mourvèdre and the rest Syrah and other authorized grape varieties, it shines with elegance and purity, offering a wonderful core of red and black fruits, medium to full body, silky and incredibly polished tannins, flawless balance and already complex notes of flowers, serene garrigue and Provençal spices. It possesses the domaine's incredible ability to bring wonderful intensity and richness while remaining graceful and fluid. It reminds me slightly of the 2012, or even the 2006, and although it's already very enjoyable, it will evolve for over 20 years in cold cellars.
