Saint Cosme Chateauneuf-Du-Pape 2019

The 2019 Châteauneuf Du Pape comes from La Crau and a few other terroirs and is 60% Grenache and 40% Mourvèdre. Blackberries, black raspberries, peppery herbs, and some solid earthy minerality give way to a medium to full-bodied, ripe, yet also structured 2019. Some 2019s can have a touch of austerity in their tannins, but this is supple and seamless. It will evolve for 10-15 years.

Aromas of marzipan, raisins, cinnamon and cherry that always conjure up Christmas time and its savory winter perfumes steeped in childhood memories.

Serve it with a leg of lamb cooked as slowly as possible so that it truly melts in the mouth.
