Châteauneuf-du-Pape Grande Réserve 2019 Rouge from Domaine La Boutinière is a majestic wine that reflects the rich tradition and the finest terroir of the Rhône area. With its deep ruby-red colour, this wine impresses from the very first moment. The bouquet is intense and complex, with aromas of ripe black fruit such as blackberry and cherry, together with hints of dried herbs, bay leaf and a touch of black pepper, characteristic of the Châteauneuf-du-Pape style. On the palate this wine offers an exceptional structure with layered flavours and a velvety texture. The dominant Grenache brings concentrated fruitiness, while the Syrah and Mourvèdre add spicy depth and tannins. A subtle addition of Cinsault adds finesse and balance. The wine is partly aged in oak barrels, giving a soft tannic structure and an elegant, long-lasting finish with mineral accents that reflect the unique terroir of the area. Domaine La Boutinière produces its Grande Réserve only in the best years, with the grapes carefully selected by hand for optimal ripeness and quality. This wine is ideal to enjoy now with hearty dishes, but can also age for many more years in the cellar, gaining further complexity.
An excellent choice with game, grilled red meat and rich cheeses.
