La Bastide Saint Dominique Chateauneuf du Pape Secrets de Pignan 2020

The 2020 Châteauneuf Du Pape Les Secrets De Pignan is all Grenache and comes from an incredible terroir just beside Rayas. Brought up entirely in stainless steel, it offers a deeper ruby/plum color as well as fabulous notes of black raspberries, Morello cherries, sandalwood, Provençal garrigue, and dried flowers. It brings beautiful depth of fruit on the palate, has full-bodied richness, sweet tannins, and a great finish. It's another brilliant 2020 that readers will love to drink any time over the coming 15 years or more.

All Grenache from the sandy soils of Pignan (Nord), with élevage in stainless steel, the 2020 Chateauneuf du Pape Secrets de Pignan is a prodigious effort. Boasting bombastic aromas of black cherries, licorice and black olives, this full-bodied wine is concentrated and rich and needs additional time in the bottle, as it's marked by dusty tannins on the lingering finish.

The 2020 Châteauneuf-du-Pape Secrets de Pignan is full-bodied and expressive. Solely made from old Grenache vines, which saw 18 months in stainless steel tanks, this wine displays jammy red fruits, dried herbs, licorice and white pepper undertones. Although this 2020 red feels round and complete, there is a touch of heat from the elevated alcohol on the bold finish.
