Based on 65% Grenache, 25% Syrah, and 10% Mourvèdre and aged six months in 20% foudre with the balance in concrete, the 2024 Châteauneuf Du Pape offers black raspberries, hints of cassis, violets, and blood orange in a perfumed, lifted style. It's medium-bodied, with solid ripeness, integrated tannins, and a good finish, and it has outstanding potential. There are roughly 3,300 cases produced.
