Note di degustazione
Mont Olivet's 2021 Chateauneuf du Pape—an assemblage of 75% Grenache, 10% Syrah, 9% Mourvèdre and tiny proportions of Cinsault, Counoise, Muscardin, Picpoul Noir, Terret Noir and Vaccarèse—is rather light-hued in the glass. Attractive scents of raspberries and strawberries are joined by hints of mint, while the taut palate is medium to full-bodied and streamlined, then a bit tart and crisp on the mocha-tinged finish.

The only Châteauneuf du Pape released in 2021, the 2021 Châteauneuf Du Pape checks in as 75% Grenache, 10% Syrah, 9% Mourvèdre, and a handful of other varieties, raised in mostly in foudre but some concrete and steel. It has a beautiful, classic style in its crunch cherry and strawberry fruit as well as complex notes of rose petals, peppery herbs, and forest floor. This medium-bodied, fresh, lively, elegant 2021 has terrific overall balance, the more linear, focused profile of the vintage, and a great finish. Unfortunately, no 2022s reds were submitted, but the 2022 white from this incredible estate showed brilliantly, and their classic 2021 Châteauneuf Du Pape is an outstanding wine that will evolve for a decade or so and is well worth purchasing.
The 2021 Châteauneuf-du-Pape matured for 20 months in a combination of foudre , concrete and steel tanks. This 2021 Châteauneuf-du-Pape offers up lively aromas of ripe red and black fruits, tomato leaf, cloves and dried herbs. It is a polished and layered full-bodied red with ripe tannins and bright acidity, capturing the freshness really well.
40% Clairette, 30% Roussanne, 14% Bourboulenc, 10% Grenache Blanc, 2% Clairette Rose, 2% Picardan, 1% Grenache Gris, 1% Picpoul Blanc.
