Tasting Notes
The all whole-bunch 2016 Chateauneuf du Pape Chante le Merle Vieilles Vignes is 85% Grenache, with the balance a mix of Mourv�dre and Syrah. The vines are all 80 to 90 years old, selected from parcels in Brusqui�res, Gardiole, Mont-Redon and Pignan. Glorious raspberry and cherry fruit picks up hints of mint and some stemmy notes, but they're remarkably well-integrated and should be completely absorbed within a couple of years. Full-bodied, rich and creamy in texture, this tour de force remains lively, silky and long on the finish. With 1,000 cases produced, it should be reasonably priced and reasonably available - an increasingly rare combination in Ch�teauneuf-du-Pape. Drink Date: 2020-2040. Score - 97.
