Cornelia Constanza 2021 Châteauneuf du Pape Rouge Domaine de la Solitude

97 point & ★★★★★ (5 ud af 5) - James Suckling: "Extremely perfumed, graceful and silky, this is an extremely sensual and beautifully balanced expression of grenache. Full-bodied, but as light as air. I love the floral and creme de cassis aromas. Super-long finish. A grenache-based cuvee, one-third of which was matured in foudre, one-third in new oak and one-third in concrete tanks. From biodynamically grown grapes."

95 point - Robert Parker: "A single-vineyard Grenache from a sandy portion of La Crau, the 2021 Chateauneuf du Pape Cornelia Constanza seamlessly marries ripe cherries and milk chocolate on the nose. It's medium to full-bodied on the palate, with a fine, supple and seductive texture and tremendous length on the finish. Unfortunately, there will be no 2022, as the parcel was devastated by hail."

Druerne til Cornelia Constanza stammer fra mere end 80 år gamle vinstokke dyrket på sandholdig jord på La Crau vinmarken lidt nord for domænet. Her får du en veloplagt og usædvanlig saftspændt Châteauneuf du Pape, som demonstrerer det ypperste, Grenache Noir-druen kan præstere af renhed, finesse og forfinede aromaer. Her er lag på lag af kirsebær, jordbær og stikkelsbær i smuk forening med cacao, kanel, kardemomme og peber. Finishen er fyldig med en silkeagtig tekstur og modne tanniner. Grenache når det er aller bedst!
