Denne Cuvée Prestige er lavet på næsten 100% Grenache fra 100 år gamle stokke. Den kommer fra det sydlige plateau Bois de Ville, hvor Saint Prefert også holder til. Det er nærmest en genistreg at få et så sydligt terroir til at smage så elegant . Dette er vinen for den, der både vil have finesse og monumental kraft. Domaine Jean Royer. Får oftest 95 point af Vinous.
“A blend of 80% Grenache and 20% Mourvèdre from a classic galets roulés terroir (le Bois de la Ville), Royer’s 2019 Chateauneuf du Pape Cuvee Prestige matured in older demi-muids, but it still shows hints of clove, cedar and mocha. It also easily marries resiny, herbal notes with black cherries and blackberries, making for plenty of complexity. Full-bodied, rich and concentrated, it finishes long, with a velvety feel and ample tannins. I’d give it a few years in bottle, then drink it over the following decade. Tasted blind, I didn’t detect any alcoholic heat, although I note that the submission materials state that it’s 16.6% alcohol.” 94+ point Wine Advocate
