La Maison Dominici – Chateauneuf du Pape
THIERRY DESSAUVE 18/20 “One of the most astonishing wines that can be enjoyed today: it is a Châteauneuf barrel that has remained in its original state, without any contact with oxygen and in total inertia, since 1996! The wine thus has an astonishing youthfulness, but also expresses a deep, unctuous, very tasty body, supported by melted tannins and a very present acidity which brings a lot of freshness to a finely spiced whole. » 18/20
Very pale red colour.
Mouth, elegant attack, suave, finish steeped in the history of this wine. It is impossible today to find such levels of acidity which confers extraordinary aging potential.
Serving temperature: 15°C.
