Domaine Clef de Saint Thomas Pierre Troupel Châteauneuf-du-Pape 2022
Châteauneuf-du-Pape, Southern Rhone, Rhone Valley, FranceIt is easy to see why Châteauneuf-du-Pape is so beloved by wine drinkers when you first sip this stylish, soft, round, ripe red that slides down with ease. The blend is 50/50 syrah/grenache, aged in traditional stainless steel tanks. The attack of red berries and underlying minerality is as inviting as the wine. The texture is soft and round, and earth and dried herbs spill onto the palate, where the fruit projects even more generously. This is among the best local buys in the overheated Châteauneuf-du-Pape market. The Pierre Troupel cuvée and its blue label pay homage to the owner Sophie Kessler-Matières' grandfather, of the piercing blue eyes. He made Bleu d'Auvergne cheese from the Cantal region. The wine originates from two lieux dits, Charbonnières and Cansaud.Tasted: 12 May 2024Tasted by: Anthony GismondiPrices:| BC | $59.99 | 750ml | BCL Stores |
