Chateauneuf du Pape Tradition 2019 Domaine Giraud

Avis professionnels

Robert Parker (93)

Giraud's 2019 Chateauneuf du Pape—a mainly tank-aged blend of 80% Grenache, 15% Syrah and 5% Mourvèdre—is full-bodied and plush, a velvety-textured whirl of black cherries, blackberries and raspberries that finishes long, with touches of white pepper and alcoholic warmth. At the domaine's 35-euro price, it's a solid value that should drink well for more than a decade. Tasted twice (once blind), with consistent notes.

James Suckling (93)

A charming wine, featuring an open and inviting core of dark cherry, plum and raspberry compote flavors infused with sandalwood and black tea, with a flurry of licorice and sweet spice on the fleshy finish. Grenache, Syrah and Mourvèdre.
