Tasting notes
This Tain-based négociant has turned out a supple, easy-drinking 2021 Chateauneuf du Pape Haute Pierre. A 90-10 blend of Grenache and Syrah, it offers up hints of dried spices and garrigue set against a backdrop of strawberry compote. Full-bodied and reasonably concentrated, it shows ample length and complexity on the finish.
