Grand Veneur Chateauneuf-du-Pape Rouge Vieilles Vignes
Alain Jaume ( Grand Veneur )
France - Rhone Valley - Chateauneuf du Pape AOC   

It boasts an inky/purple color in addition to a gorgeous perfume of crushed rocks, jammy black fruits, charcoal and graphite, blackberry aromas. The palate holds excellent fruit character and has a great kick. The tannins are round and the finish is long with mint and dark fruit notes. It is all very much together and harmonious, and has great aging potential.
An outstanding Chateauneuf du Pape expressing the quintessence of its terroir.

The first vintage for this wine was 2006.

2022 Domaine Grand Veneur Chateauneuf du Pape Rouge Vieilles Vignes - 97 PTS - JD

2022 Domaine Grand Veneur Chateauneuf du Pape Rouge Vieilles Vignes - 97 PTS - JD

jeb dunnuck logo 250"Blackberries, roasted garrigue, licorice, and spice notes all define the aromatics of the 2022 Châteauneuf du Pape Vieilles Vignes, a broad, expansive, opulent Châteauneuf du Pape that has velvety tannins and a huge finish. Based on 40% Grenache, 45% Mourvèdre, and the rest Syrah, with the Grenache brought up in concrete tanks and the Syrah and Mourvèdre in barrel, it shows a kiss of the modern style found in the Les Origines but is just pure Châteauneuf du Pape magic with its purity, opulence, and elegance. It's a gorgeous 2022 that should benefit from just a few years in the cellar and evolve gracefully over the following 15+ years. If you see a bottle, buy it."
