"Always a more modern-styled effort, the 2024 Châteauneuf Du Pape Les Origines is 50% Grenache, 30% Mourvèdre, and 20% Syrah from red sandstone and pebbly soils. Brought up for 16 months, half in new barrels and half in concrete, it offers black raspberries, spicy wood, orange blossom, and baking spices in a medium-bodied, beautifully balanced, elegant, seamless package. It has classy, perfectly integrated oak and holds onto tons of classic Provençal charm and character. It's going to continue drinking beautifully for another 10-15 years or more. Drink 2026-2041."
