Description
The 2020 Font de Joubert Châteauneuf-du-Pape Rouge is a wine that captivates from the first encounter, with a bouquet reminiscent of fine Pinot Noir, rose petals, and incense. This Grenache-driven beauty hails from sandy terroirs, including plots near the iconic Château Rayas. Crafted from old vines, some over a century old, it showcases a remarkable heritage.
On the palate, this wine is a testament to the finesse of Grenache on sand. Expect tamed opulence, a velvety texture, and a crisp, melting finish that lingers gracefully. Made with whole bunches and aged in concrete vats, it offers a purity and depth that sets it apart.
Best decanted for at least an hour, this Châteauneuf-du-Pape pairs exquisitely with beef tartare, lamb crépinette with cumin and apricots, or truffled poularde. A wine that combines heritage, elegance, and sophistication in every sip.
