When to drink this wine: 2015 - 2025
Tasted by Joe Czerwinski in 2020: " The 2018 Châteauneuf du Pape l'Avenue shows some alcohol-derived heat on the finish. There's no doubt that it has ample concentration, terrifically ripe tannins and an open, generous mouthfeel, as well as stunning aromas of vanilla-tinged cherries and raspberries with hints of cocoa, so if you're more alcohol-tolerant than I am, or if you're willing to drink it a bit chilled, you'll probably find that even my rating is stingy..."
The estate tells you about it :
-
Vinification: The grapes are destemmed and crushed then conveyed into a truncated-cone-shaped concrete vat. The temperature is maintained at around 25°C during alcoholic fermentation. Maceration lasts about 30 days during which pumping over and racking over are carried out daily according to the tastings of our oenologist Philippe CAMBIE.
-
Ageing: Grenache is aged for 18 months in demi-muids of 3 wines or more.
-
Tasting: this cuvée comes from a plot of old grenaches on sandstone at the top of one of the hills of Châteauneuf-du-Pape. The nose reveals notes of clementine zest and franboise coulis, the palate is on the palate.
