Origin & Craftsmanship:
Hailing from the prestigious Châteauneuf-du-Pape appellation in France’s Rhône Valley, this 2020 vintage by Famille Chaussy is a testament to time-honored winemaking. A harmonious blend of 50% Grenache, 30% Mourvèdre, and 20% Syrah, it embodies the region’s signature complexity and depth. With only 2,000 cases produced—and just 448 imported—this limited-edition wine offers exclusivity for discerning collectors.
Tasting Profile:
Critics rave: Wine Spectator awarded it 94 points, praising its “powerful yet elegant” structure. The palate unfolds with layers of fresh cherry and damson plum, framed by a graphite-like minerality. Subtle notes of wet earth, dried tobacco, and incense mingle with hints of mulling spices, creating a textured, lingering finish. Balanced by vibrant acidity, this wine is built to age gracefully—peak drinking from 2024 to 2035.
