Santa Duc Chateauneuf-du-Pape 'Les Saintes Vierges' 2019
$156.00
Description
The 2019 Châteauneuf Du Pape Les Saintes Vierges is another beautiful wine. Ripe cherries, blueberries, rose petals, spice, and hints of spring flowers all emerge on the nose, and it shines on the palate for its beautiful elegance and purity. Medium to full-bodied, with ripe, polished tannins and notable freshness, it's going to evolve for 15 years with no issues.
The first single vineyard the estate settled in the appellation of Chateauneuf-du-Pape. The old Grenache vines, along with Mourvèdre and Counoise, have a penchant for the finesse and lightness of these sandy soils situated in the southwester part of the appellation. Hand picked grapes undergo very stringent sorting in the winery before a short and soft maceration. The wine is then put into bigs casks and terracotta jars before bottling.
