Chateau de la Font du Loup Le Puy Rolland, Chateauneuf-du-Pape, Rhone, France 2020

Description

Jeb Dunnuck 96

I loved the nose on the 2020 Châteauneuf Du Pape Puy Rolland, which is subtle and complex, with beautiful strawberry and framboise-like fruits as well as notes of rose petals, spring flowers, spice, and loamy earth. Pure finesse on the palate, this medium to full-bodied effort has ultra-fine tannins, a layered, seamless mouthfeel, no hard edges, and a great finish. It's never the biggest or richest wine in a vintage, but it stands out for its purity, balance, and incredible finesse. It can be enjoyed any time over the coming 15 years.

Bright aromas of strawberries, raspberries, thyme, rosemary and hints of stones. Medium-bodied with a velvety texture caressing the palate all along towards the fruity, juicy and vivid finish. A fruity and silky red from 100% old vine grenache
