M. Chapoutier Châteauneuf-du-Pape ‘Croix de Bois’ 2020 conn-creek It's piercingAppearance: intense red. Nose: Black fruits, blackberry jam. Palate: unctuous, ample with warm tannins. According to the vintage, the wine can be kept from 30 to 60 years, indeed from 50 to 75 years. Sommelier's advice: When the Grenache is elegant, the fruit, which is usually shaken up by the Mistral wind, is of a rare finesse, as is the case here. The delectable nose of crushed strawberries also contains subtle notes of black fruit and rose petals
