Clos du Mont Olivet 2018 - Clos du Mont-Olivet - Châteauneuf-du-Pape AOP

Historic vintage of the estate. Mostly from the old vines of Grenache, it is a classic Châteauneuf-du-Pape, very "terroir" with a lot of depth... It embalms the strawberry from the woods: it is a solar wine, which stands out for its solid stature and generous fruit. Racy and full, it's a great achievement. This Châteauneuf-du-Pape "Clos" has a deep ruby color, purple, with silky tannins and good acidity.
