Alain Jaume - Domaine Grand Veneur Châteauneuf-du-Pape 'Le Miocène' 2022 (375ml)
The wine is produced from vineyards located in the northern part of Châteauneuf du Pape and the vines are grown using organic methods. This cuvee will express year after year a great power and aromatic complexity. An intense dark-ruby color. The nose develops aromas of ripe black fruits (such as blackberry), cherry and spice box. The palate reveals strong yet elegant tannins. The finish is long and luxurious. This is the Chateauneuf du Pape expression, displaying all the characteristics of the terroir. The 2022 Châteauneuf du Pape Le Miocene checks in as 70% Grenache, 20% Syrah, and the rest Mourvèdre, all destemmed, that was raised mostly in tank, with the Syrah and Mourvèdre in oak. It has a beautiful nose of ripe red and black fruits that give way to more licorice, black olive, peppery garrigue, and spices. Medium to full-bodied on the palate, it's balanced and has ripe, building tannins and a great finish. It's going to evolve gracefully for 10-12+ years." - Jeb Dunnuck (Importe
