70% grenache, 15% syrah, 15% mourvedre. A savory nose with wet stone and leather makes you think this is going to be a fruitless bruiser, but then on the palate it's all big fruit, juicy sour cherry and red plum. The whiplash between nose and tongue was a little off-putting - it almost tastes new world in its structure. Good wine but the other Charbonniere CdPs had more to them.

Solid wine. A real basic Chateauneuf profile without much complexity
