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)
