Eddie Feraud, Chateauneuf Du Pape other_regions_australia textured fruit and bright aromaticsThe 2017 Chteauneuf Du Pape checks in 85% Grenache, 10% Mourvdre, and the balance a mix of varieties, all of which spent 18 months in foudre. Beautiful notes of blackcurrants, blueberries, violets, ground pepper, and sappy garrigue like nuances all emerge from this medium to full bodied effort that has outstanding purity of fruit, polished, ripe tannins, and a great finish.
