2020 Rotem & Mounir Saouma Châteauneuf-du-Pape Arioso Châteauneuf-du-Pape Rhône France Wine Tasting Note

Waves of sweet, ripe, fresh cherries and black raspberries surrounded by flowers and spice hit the spot. The wine is vibrant, as well as lush, soft, and elegant, setting the scene for the long, fruit-packed finish. This is my first time tasting these wines. A bit pricey, but the character and quality are there. The wine is produced from 100% old-vine Grenache planted in the 1930s in the Pignan sector. After whole cluster vinification, the wine is aged in 228 and 500 liter barrels for 36 months. Drink from 2025-2038.
