Chateau de Vaudieu Chateauneuf-du-Pape Val de Dieu 2016

Situated in the heart of Chateauneuf-du-Pape, Château de Vaudieu has 250 years of winemaking prowess behind it. Couple this with one of the most consistent vintages for the modern era and you can be sure that you’re in for a treat. Prepare yourself for an exquisite representation of this world famous appellation. A blend of 60% grenache complemented by 25% syrah and 15% mourvèdre, the nose is complex and layered with hints of dark currants, black flowers, minerals and subtle oak ageing notes. The palate offers a superb structure with elegant tannins and a very long finish. With enough fruit richness, feel free to drink this right away; yet 10 years of careful cellaring will reward you and your lucky acquaintances when the time comes to pop the cork.
