The Château de la Font du Loup, delicately combines black fruits, spices and a refined floral side. In the mouth, the silky notes of cherries in brandy, licorice and black pepper make this a wine of rare elegance. It can be drunk young for the impatient and expresses its freshness for many years.

Moving to the 2021s, the 2021 Châteauneuf Du Pape is 60% Grenache, 20% Mourvèdre, 15% Syrah, and the balance Cinsault brought up mostly in foudre. It has the fresher, almost crunchy style of the vintage and offers a Burgundian bouquet of black cherries, redcurrants, peppery garrigue, and sandalwood. Medium-bodied, lively, and fresh on the palate, it has nicely integrated acidity, fine tannins, and outstanding length. It's terrific today yet should evolve for a decade.
