Closerie De Vaudieu, Chateauneuf du Pape

This is an exceptional value example of a southern Rhône blend and is composed of 53% Grenache, 35% Syrah, 9% Cinsault and 3% other red varieties. It is a rich, full-bodied and fragrant wine, offering up lively berry fruits on the nose, with a touch of licorice and a hint of black pepper. It is full-bodied and silky with ripe tannins that gently support the cherry, cassis, and herb character. Built in 1767 and located in the heart of the Châteauneuf-du-Pape Appellation, Château de Vaudieu is the flagship estate of the Brechet family. Closerie de Vaudieu is a premium red wine produced in the renowned Châteauneuf-du-Pape appellation, and the vines are over 65 years in age and the fruit gains incredible levels of concentration as a result.
