Tour Saint MichelChateauneuf du Pape Cuvee Deux Soeurs 2019

Notes of sun-drenched black cherry and strawberry preserves are sonorous in this fruit-forward, piercing blend of 90% Grenache and 10% Syrah. It highlights all of Grenache´s red-fruited delights and soft, pillowy tannins along with a twist of Syrah´s peppery, brambly spice. Delightful young, it should maintain peak through 2030 at least.

Brilliant ruby-red. Strongly perfumed scents of ripe red fruits and lavender are accompanied by exotic spice and blood orange nuances. Supple and expansive on the palate, offering sweet raspberry, cherry and floral pastille flavors underscored by a smoky mineral element. Well-concentrated but lithe as well, finishing juicy and quite long, with lingering, spice-tinged red fruit character and slow-building tannins.

Bright and juicy, with a ball of red licorice, plum and red currant paste flavors, pushed by fresh acidity, carried with a lively iron twinge throughout. Grenache and Syrah. Best from 2023 through 2035. 2,500 cases made

Coming from a handful of pebbly, rocky lieux-dits and aged all in concrete, the 2019 Châteauneuf Du Pape Cuvée Des Deux Soeurs is a rock-solid, complex, incredibly classic wine that´s medium-bodied, nicely balanced, has ripe tannins, and outstanding length. It´s not the biggest or richest wine in the lineup, yet it´s already complex, has wonderful balance, and again, just a classic style that´s going to evolve nicely for a decade. This cuvee is 90% Grenache and 10% Syrah, from the La Crousroute, Le Grand Coulet, Le Petites Serres, and Les Serres lieux-dits, and is brought up in concrete tanks.
