  A beautiful rich expression of C9P. Sweet black cherries, Garrigue, some raspberry, vanilla. Tasted side by side with the Avenue from Chateau Vaudieu and this one was my favorite by a small margin. This is what a 100% Grenache C9P should taste like!

  Powerful, full-bodied, intense and rich, the wine pops with flowers, smoke, vanilla, spice and dark cherries. You find a lot of lift, along with a wall of sweet, deep, dark red jammy fruits, energy and round, lush textures. Give it time in the cellar before pulling a cork. There is a lot going on here and it needs time to come together. The wine is made from 100% old vine, Grenache planted in sandy soils not too far from Chateau Rayas.
