Jeb Dunnuck, tasting note published in August 8th 2019
There is a single cask of the 2016 Châteauneuf Du Pape Not For You, which is 100% Grenache from the lieu-dit of Les Serres from the oldest vineyards on the estate. It was not destemmed and spent two years in a neutral barrel. It offers an incredible bouquet of kirsch, blackberries, incense, white flowers, garrigue and spices that develop beautifully with time in the glass. Rich, powerful, full-bodied and concentrated, it nevertheless glides over the palate without heaviness, ultra-fine tannins, and a singular, exotic, elongated style.
Only a single cask (300 bottles) is made of this super cuvée and bottled separately only in the extraordinary 2007, 2010 & 2016 vintages. Not for you! It is 100% Grenache sourced from 95yr in the sandy soils of the lieu-dit of Bas Serres. The wine spends 36 months in barrel and comes in at a moderate 15% alcohol.
Contains sulphites.
