The Cuvée de mon Aïeul is a drop-dead gorgeous showing in this vintage. This 100% Grenache was sourced from la Serres, La Crau and La Guigasse and bursts open with wonderful aromatics of dark cherries, raspberries and dark plums woven together with exotic sweet spice, pepper, chocolate-licorice and a lovely savory character rounding out the complex profile. On the palate this is beautifully textured with lovely round tannins making for a wonderful mouthfeel. The overall balance, concentration and depth are stunning. An absolutely captivating Châteauneuf-du-Pape which will age remarkably well.
