M. Chapoutier, Chateauneuf-du-Pape, Barbe Rac 2019

The 2019 Châteauneuf Du Pape Barbe Rac also shows the vintage’s more elegant, seamless style. It has an exotic bouquet of wild strawberries, blueberries, marine-like minerality, tapenade, and savory garrigue. Rich, full-bodied, and nicely structured, with plenty of length on the finish, this is another wine that will benefit from 2-4 years of bottle age and be long-lived.
