Châteauneuf-du-Pape, Cuvee Paule Courtil, L`Or de Line

Note:

The rather pale-hued 2015 Chateauneuf du Pape Cuvee Paule Courtil is 80% Grenache and 20% other varieties. It really is a Burgundy-styled version of Châteauneuf du Pape, showing plenty of almost green-tinged fruit, like just-ripe cherries and stone fruit, and some floral and herbal notes. It`s mouth-filling and lush without being heavy at all, finishing long and fresh. A really fine, elegant effort if you`re not enamored of sheer power.
