2016 Clos St. Patrice Monopole Rouge Chateauneuf-du-Pape

Winemaker Notes: Monopoly of 1.8 hectares in the commune of Châteauneuf-du-Pape. The soils of Clos St Patrice are just as unique as the wine they produce: the dark brown sandy soils that cover most of the Clos give way to a yellow sandy type of soil that covers the rocky substrate, partly covered with rolled pebbles.

CRITICAL ACCLAIM


Wine Enthusiast - " Pristine black cherry, violet and licorice perfume this lavish single-vineyard blend of Grenache and Mourvèdre. It's open knit and opulent but structured by a tang of minerality and tight, gripping tannins. Delicious already it should meld and improve through 2030 and hold further still."
