Châteauneuf-du-Pape - Châteauneuf Blend - Bédarrides, FR - 19
 
La Crau is rich with red fruit being primarily Grenache, but also displays some darker characteristics of blackcurrant, and tainted leather. There are tempered complexities of fennel, espresso and dried game. You will also notice bouts of black truffle and fresh thyme as well. There’s a lavender essence which compliments the plummy-lush tannin as well. The wine is loads of complex and intricately woven into expressions of all sorts. It’s an incredible example of the fine wine that this region is capable of producing.
