Châteauneuf-du-Pape Rouge, “Cuvée des Félix—Sélection Jean-Paul Versino”

In our pursuit to support and maintain the greatest traditions of fine European wines, we asked Jean-Paul—who shares our values—to age a selection of his finest two barrels of wine (65% Grenache, 25% Mourvèdre, 10% others) from an extraordinary vintage for an additional year, so as to replicate more closely the most profound wines of the past. The result is what is known as “Cuvée des Félix – Sélection Jean-Paul Versino”, which is an exceptionally complex and complete expression of this great terroir. Energetic fruit is sewn into a graceful backbone, all of which is lifted from the palate by surprising acidity. This is one to lay in the cellar and enjoy after a decade or more.
