Chateauneuf du Pape Rouge, Domaine de la Graveirette, 2019

Mus, winemaker at Domaine de la Graveirette has a small plot of wines for his CNDPs between Font de Michelle and Vieux Télégraphe. No oak is used here, and Julian employs a deftness of touch that makes this both approachable now and able to age for years to come. Grenache thrives in this part of the world. Complex blend of red and black berries, Mediterranean herbs, a touch of spice and of course that sexy, silky mouthfeel that’s so moreish but in this instance not a bit over-bearing.

Pair with: Shoulder of lamb, rib of beef, rich veg tagine or curries​
