Domaine des Senechaux 2021 Chateauneuf du Pape 750ml

A blend of 55% Grenache, with the balance a mix of Mourvèdre and Syrah, Senechaux's 2021 Chateauneuf du Pape is a success from this challenging vintage. Matured in a mix of foudres, older wood and concrete tanks, the nose offers up appealing scents of black cherries, black olives and deep plummy fruit. It's full-bodied, soft and easygoing, marked by hints of licorice on the long finish.
