Community Tasting Note

LindsayM Likes this wine:

Friday, January 12, 2024 - This Châteauneuf-du-Pape is produced from a blend of Grenache, Syrah and Mourvèdre grapes and comes from old, low-yielding vines grown on sparse, boulder-covered soils around the ancient village of Châteauneuf-du-Pape, in the southern Rhône Valley.
It is rich and flavoursome, with a lovely smoothness, plenty of spicy fruit flavours, and displays a great deal of complexity
15.5%
Patrick Lesec Les Galets Blonds is made using 93% old vine Grenache and 7% Syrah. The vines are old, averaging 75 years of age. The grapes are completely destemmed. The wine is aged in tanks and foudres for 12 to 14 months. About 550 cases are produced each vintage.
