Sourced from the lieux-dits of Coudoulet and la Gardiole, the certified-organic 2017 Chateauneuf du Pape Vieilli en Fut de Chene is mainly Grenache, with Mourvèdre and Counoise in the mix. Dark, sooty notes of campfire dominate the nose, although some flickers of plummy fruit and black olives come through on the medium to full-bodied palate. It's round in the mouth but not particularly rich or textured, finishing on notes of singed wood.
