Roc Epine Chateauneuf-du-Pape 2025

Tasting notes:

Sourced from three distinct plots across Châteauneuf du Pape, the 2022 reveals layers of ripe black cherry, wild raspberry and plum intertwined with notes of garrigue, sweet spice and cracked pepper. The palate is rich and enveloping, with velvety texture and beautifully integrated tannins supported by a vibrant mineral lift. Powerful yet composed, the wine finishes long and savoury, showing both the depth and elegance of this exceptional Rhône terroir.
