This Lirac-based estate has turned out a magnificently concentrated 2018 Chateauneuf du Pape, loaded with ripe cherries and hints of dark chocolate. A classic blend of 80% Grenache and 10% each Mourvèdre and Syrah, aged in a combination of steel tanks and oak barrels, it's full-bodied and intense, and while the first pour is a bit tight and tarry, the wine opens quickly, folding in savory notes of black olives and roasted meat, all wrapped in silky tannins. It comes close in quality to the terrific 2016, and should drink well through 2035. Certified organic.
