La Part des Anges Châteauneuf du Pape 2021

A blend of 70% Mourvèdre, 20% Grenache and 10% Syrah, the 2021 Chateauneuf du Pape la Part des Anges is the first vintage of this cuvée to be vinified in demi-muids. The cedar seems more subtle and better integrated than past vintages as a result, adding nuance to the other aromas of crushed stone, plums and black cherries. Full-bodied, rich and velvety in texture, with a near-limitless finish, this is simply super stuff.

Based on 70% Mourvedre, 20% Grenache, and 10% Syrah, the 2021 Châteauneuf Du Pape La Part Des Anges sports a dense purple hue to go with incredibly pure, vibrant aromatics of black and blue fruits, ground pepper, spice, and spring flowers, with a kiss of background oak. There's always a touch of barrique in this wine, yet the purity is spot on, it's medium to full-bodied, has ripe, polished tannins, and a great finish. It's a brilliant 2021 in the making.
