Domaine du Banneret Chateauneuf du Pape red 2024

Domaine du Banneret Châteauneuf-du-Pape Rouge 2024 is a beautifully refined expression of traditional Southern Rhône winemaking. Awarded 93 points by Jeb Dunnuck in October 2026, this elegant vintage combines aromatic purity, precision and remarkable balance. Sourced primarily from sandy soils across several lieux-dits within the appellation, the blend comprises 50% Grenache, 15% Syrah and 10% Mourvèdre, complemented by other traditional Châteauneuf-du-Pape varieties. The grapes are vinified as whole clusters without destemming, followed by 18 months of ageing in a combination of foudres, older barrels and concrete tanks. The 2024 vintage reveals an expressive bouquet of mulled red berries, peppery Provençal garrigue, smoke and subtle roasted meat nuances. Medium-bodied, the palate is beautifully pure, clean and refined, with an elegant texture and exceptionally fine tannins. The finish is harmonious and persistent, highlighting the wine’s freshness and precision. Jeb Dunnuck praises its classic expression of the vintage and anticipates a decade or more of ageing potential. A distinctive Châteauneuf-du-Pape that favours elegance, authenticity and finesse over excessive power.
