Drawn from the family's holdings in the northern sector of the appellation (lieux-dits Chapouin and Palestor), the 2019 Chateauneuf du Pape Vieilles Vignes is a silky, approachable effort. Mainly Grenache planted in 1929 and 1936, with small amounts of Mourvèdre, Syrah, Cinsault, Counoise, Vaccarese, Grenache Blanc and Clairette, it offers charming aromas of mint-inflected cherries and stone fruit. Medium to full-bodied, soft and gentle in feel, it's easy to drink, balanced and elegant.
