Châteauneuf-Du-Pape Cuvée Tradition - Domaine De Pignan

The Châteauneuf-Du-Pape Cuvée Tradition from Domaine De Pignan from the Rhône Valley offers a dense, light red color in the wine glass. The bouquet of this red wine from the Rhône Valley enchants with hints of raspberry. Following the aromas further, notes of blackcurrant, black cherry, and vanilla appear.

On the palate, the Châteauneuf-Du-Pape Cuvée Tradition from Domaine De Pignan starts off pleasantly aromatic, fruit-driven, and well-balanced. Some wines are dry on the label, others truly are. This red wine belongs to the second group, as it was vinified with just 0.6 g of residual sugar. On the palate, the texture of this powerful red wine presents itself as wonderfully dense. Thanks to its lively acidity, the Châteauneuf-Du-Pape Cuvée Tradition appears impressively fresh and vibrant on the palate. On the finish, this very age-worthy red wine from the Rhône Valley winegrowing region delights with a lovely length. Once again, hints of raspberry appear. In the aftertaste, mineral notes from the clay- and limestone-dominated soils join in.
