Chateauneuf-du-Pape Collection Charles Giraud 2019 (75 CL)

Wine Advocate

An assemblage of 60% Grenache and 40% Mourvèdre. both aged in demi-muids. the 2019 Chateauneuf du Pape Collection Charles Giraud features a hint of brown sugar on the nose. then waves of blueberries. black cherries and plums. plus some more savory suggestions of black olives. Full-bodied and showing tremendous richness and depth. it's sturdier and denser than the Auguste Favier. with a long. dark. earthy finish and plenty of tannin. Give it some serious time in the cellar. Tasted twice (once blind). with consistent notes. (JC 5/2022)
