Domaine Chante Cigale - Châteauneuf-du-Pape 2020 (750ml)

As to the reds, the 2020 Châteauneuf Du Pape has a gorgeous nose of ripe red and black fruits, smoked game, iron, and some tapenade to go with medium to full-bodied richness and depth on the palate. It’s one heck of a great base cuvée and certainly stands up to the smaller production special cuvées. The blend is 65% Grenache, 20% Syrah, and the rest Mourvedre and Cinsault that was partially destemmed and brought up mostly in concrete tanks. Drink this total charmer over the coming 10-12 years.
