The tiny production 2019 Châteauneuf Du Pape Les Sables De La Crau checks in 100% Grenache from a sandy parcel in the famed La Crau lieu-dit. It was partially destemmed and brought up all in demi-muids. Incredible notes of black raspberries, mulled strawberries, cassis, orange peel, and flowery incense all soar from the glass and this beauty hits the palate with full-bodied richness, silky, polished tannins, and a gorgeous finish. This opulent, complex, seamless 2019 does everything right. It’s going to offer incredible pleasure right out of the gate yet also evolve for 10-15 years.
