Domaine Clef de Saint Thomas Pierre Troupel Châteauneuf-du-Pape 2020
Châteauneuf-du-Pape, Southern Rhone, Rhone Valley, FranceThe Pierre Troupel cuvée and its blue label pay homage to the owner's Sophie Kessler-Matière grandfather. He had piercing blue eyes and made Bleu d'Auvergne cheese from the Cantal region. The wine originates from two lieux dits, Charbonnières and Cansaud, in the Châteauneuf-du-Pape region. The blend is 50/50 syrah/grenache aged in traditional stainless steel tanks. The attack with red berry aromas and an underlying minerality is as inviting as the wine. The textures are soft and round with a touch of earth, dried herbs, and more generous fruit. Drink or hold, it is one of the best buys locally in the overheated Châteauneuf-du-Pape market.Tasted: 03 November 2023Tasted by: Anthony GismondiPrices:| BC | $59.99 | 750ml | BCL Stores |
