  Black cherries and garrique on the nice nose. Really intense and powerfull with a lot of pepper, a lovely touch of kirsch and a pretty long finish. Tasted side by side with Pegau Maclure 2020 and this a class or two better. Terroir seems more important than producer.

  The lightest colour of a neuf i recall. Theres strawberry and black cherries on the charming nose. This really has some punch after an hour with air, with black fruit and a lot of pepper, with a medium peppery finish.
  Boisson has a small cellar in the center of ch9 which i have never visited before, but theres a lot of quality here and fine QPR, also their 2021 was good, but i preferred the white neuf.

  Soft, silky, elegant, and fresh, the wine is clean, pure, refined and loaded with sweet, vibrant, slightly, peppery kirsch and strawberries. This is going to be a pleasure to enjoy on release. Drink from 2022-2030.

  Color: Med-dark ruby. Classic.
  
  Nose: Classic CDP Grenache-driven nose of black cherry liqueur, red raspberry, and CDP (garrigue) spices. Moderate complexity, nice.
  
  Palate: Med-full body (15.5%), yet light in its feet. Lovely, flavors of sweet black cherry, raspberry, and a hint of herbs/garrigue. Ripe soft tannins. Good acidity.
  
  This is delicious, authentic, and affordable. Nice!
  
  90-91 pts.
  Optimum drinking window: 2022 to 2026 (in a cool cellar).
