Note di degustazione
Bright ruby. A complex bouquet evokes ripe red and dark berries, potpourri and smoky minerals, all accented by an exotic spice nuance. Densely packed as well as energetic in style, offering sappy black raspberry, bitter cherry, succulent herb and spicecake flavors that turn sweeter through the back half. Finishes juicy, gently tannic and very long, leaving behind mineral, garrigue and cherry liqueur notes.

A blend of Grenache, Mourvèdre and Cinsault from a classic red clay and galets roulés lieu-dit, the 2017 Chateauneuf du Pape Le Pied de Baud hints at roses and star anise on the nose, then adds raspberry and cherry fruit. Less ephemeral and silky than the other CdPs in this stable, it's still a solid offering, being medium to full-bodied, sturdy and intense, with a rich, velvety feel and long finish.
Deep shimmering ruby. Highly perfumed aromas of ripe red and dark berries, baking spices and garrigue slowly pick up a smoky element as the wine stretches out. Juicy and seamless in texture, offering alluringly sweet black raspberry, spicecake and candied lavender flavors that show energetic lift and fine delineation. The floral and spice notes carry strongly through an impressively long, penetrating finish shaped by smooth, slow-building tannins.
Coming mostly from the Mont Redon plateau and a blend of Grenache, Mourvèdre, and Cinsault, the 2017 Châteauneuf-du-Pape Le Pied de Baud is classic Chateauneuf-du-Pape all the way. Ripe black cherries, pepper, earth, and bouquet garni-like notes all flow to a medium to full-bodied, elegant, nicely textured barrel sample that’s very much in the fresher, more focused, elegant style of this estate.
