This impressive wine from winemaker Jean Paul Daumen is from 100 year old Grenache grapes that grow in Chateauneuf du Pape. It is full-bodied with flavors of cassis, cherries and raspberries. The harvest is small and the wine is made in small batches. It has an expansive finish on the palate. I really enjoy this wine now, but in a few more years, it will be phenomenal! This wine is also available from Cave du Verger des Papes in Chateauneuf du Pape (they ship to the states). It costs about $79 per bottle. The wine pairs extremely well with my Roasted Tenderloin of Beef.
