wintery night

(80% whole cluster)

The palate has striking depth of ripe fruit and deeply structured

There is a real stony quality to the aromatics here

Another gorgeous wine from this team is the 2020 Châteauneuf Du Pape Lieu-Dit Pignan

Jacques Prieur, Volnay Santenots Size:6x750ml wintery night(from younger vines in Clos des Santenots). This is ripe to the point of displaying background notes of prune on the plum and earth scented nose that lacks the same freshness. There is better freshness to the delicious medium weight flavors that exude a subtle bead of minerality on the borderline chewy finish. This may come together but its awkward and a bit heavy today.
