Note di degustazione
The red 2021 Chateauneuf du Pape Cuvee Barberini actually sees less new oak than the white version (about 70% is aged in barrel). Leather, earth, spice, vanilla, black cherries and plums all appear on the nose, while the full-bodied palate is creamy and lush, with a long, softly dusty finish tinged with dark chocolate.

I loved the 2021 Châteauneuf Du Pape Barberini, a resounding success in the vintage. Based on 60% Grenache, 20% Mourvèdre, and the rest Syrah, it has a rocking bouquet of darker berries, peppery garrigue, Provençal spices, and subtle new leather nuances. Balanced, medium-bodied, and nicely concentrated, with fine tannins, it does everything right. Drink this elegant, seamless, remarkably pure Châteauneuf du Pape over the coming 8-10 years. While this Cuvée sees roughly 35% new barrels, it’s incredibly well integrated.
50% Roussanne, 40% Clairette, 10% Grenache Blanc. Matured in new barriques for 10 months. Tasted blind. Slightly smoky note on the nose, a little bit mute at the moment. The palate has some good weight and is packed full of pear and peach. A grilled-almond note on the finish. Slightly toasty but will integrate nicely. (AC)
