Domaine Bosquet Des Papes

Chante Le Merle

From even older vines, between 80-90 years old, the top of the chain Chante le Merle showcases Chateauneuf du Pape at it's very best. An expressive nose of red fruits, earthy tones and exotic spices lead to an elegant and long experience. 80% Grenache, with Syrah and Mourvedre splitting the rest of the blend, makes a perfect pair with game and truffle dishes. "The blockbuster 2019 Chateauneuf du Pape Chante le Merle Vieilles Vignes is a big, hulking wine, loaded with minty-stemmy notes and dark, plummy fruit. Allspice and salted licorice provide additional nuance, making it more than just a powerhouse, but it is a full-bodied, tannic wine that will need time in the cellar."
