2020 Châteauneuf-du-Pape Rouge, Domaine des Saumades, Rhône

Description

Sandy soils can bring perfume to a Châteauneuf-du-Pape and never has this been more evident that in the 2020 Saumades Rouge. It has a gorgeous, lifted nose of lilac mixed with juicy black cherries. The palate is full of ripe, creamy blackberries with a hint, unbelievably, of Eccles Cake. Although the fruit is rich, a beautiful freshness dominates the wine, along with plentiful tannins which most definitely have grip at this stage but which resolve harmoniously on the unbelievably long finish. Sensational. Drink 2024-2036.

Critics reviews

Jeb Dunnuck 90-92/100
Lots of classic ripe black cherry and blackberry fruits as well as licorice and peppery garrigue emerge from the 2020 Châteauneuf Du Pape, a medium to full-bodied, rich, impressively concentrated, chewy wine offering classic character and richness. It's going to benefit from a handful of years in the cellar and have 10-15 years of overall longevity.jeb_dunnuck, jebdunnuck.com (Nov 2021)

About this wine

Châteauneuf-du-Pape

Châteauneuf-du-Pape

The largest and most important appellation in the southern Rhône, with more than 3,200 hectares of vineyards and over 80 growers, Châteauneuf-du-Pape produces more wine than the whole of the northern Rhône combined. The gloriously rich red wines, redolent of the heat and herbs of the south, are enhanced by the complexity which comes from blending several of the 14 permitted grape varieties including Grenache, Mourvèdre and Syrah.
