Fremières

Gentle grip

Then very mellow

in this 2018 wine

all wrapped in a youthfully austere and dramatically long finish

Eddie Feraud, Chateauneuf Du Pape other_regions_italy FremièresThe 2017 Chteauneuf Du Pape checks in 85% Grenache, 10% Mourvdre, and the balance a mix of varieties, all of which spent 18 months in foudre. Beautiful notes of blackcurrants, blueberries, violets, ground pepper, and sappy garrigue like nuances all emerge from this medium to full bodied effort that has outstanding purity of fruit, polished, ripe tannins, and a great finish. You could do much worse than to have a case of this in the cellar.
