Vidal-Fleury Chateauneuf-du-Pape 2010
Blend | France
Grenache 85%, Syrah 10%, Mouvedre 5%. Pair with fowl prepared with sauce based on wine, olive, spices (curry, ginger), red meat, and cheeses. Drink from now to 5 years. Open 2 hours before tasting or decant. Can be aged up to 10 years.
Appearance is deep and dark ruby red. Nose dominated by red fruit like cherry and prune. Spicy and grilled notes give complexity : provencal herbs as garrigue and thyme, pine resin and toasted cacao. On the palate the Grenache gives the smoothness that the tannins need. The finish shows flavors even more smoky and spicy, with a truffle note
