Description
The 2020 Châteauneuf-du-Pape from Domaine du Banneret is an elegant and refined wine, produced in limited quantities by this family-owned estate located in the heart of the prestigious Châteauneuf-du-Pape appellation. This wine is a blend of typical regional varieties—Syrah, Grenache, Mourvèdre, and Cinsault—offering remarkable complexity and depth. Grown on the iconic “galets roulés” (round pebbles) soil of the region, the vines benefit from an exceptional terroir, producing a wine that is both powerful and balanced.
Blend
This Châteauneuf-du-Pape is a traditional blend of Grenache, which adds roundness and red fruit flavors, Syrah, which contributes structure, spice, and depth of color, Mourvèdre, which provides black fruit aromas, tannins, and aging potential, and Cinsault, which adds freshness and finesse.
Tasting Notes
Appearance: reveals an intense ruby color with garnet highlights, indicating the concentration of the vintage.
Nose: is complex and enticing, dominated by red and black fruits like cherry, strawberry, and blackberry, complemented by spicy notes of black pepper, garrigue, and licorice. Floral and earthy undertones, along with hints of underbrush, complete this harmonious profile.
Palate: the wine is rich and full-bodied, with silky tannins and a well-structured backbone. The flavors of ripe red fruits, spices, and licorice are well-defined, accompanied by notes of leather and Provençal herbs. The finish is long, with balanced freshness and a subtle minerality, giving the wine elegance and great aging potential.
Aging Potential
The 2020 Châteauneuf-du-Pape from Domaine du Banneret has excellent aging potential. It can be enjoyed now for its generous fruit and character, but it will also improve over 10 to 15 years. Over time, the wine will develop more evolved aromas of underbrush, truffle, and leather while maintaining its balance and structure.
Food Pairing
This structured and generous wine pairs perfectly with bold and flavorful dishes, including grilled or roasted red meats such as lamb and ribeye steak, game like hare and venison, slow-cooked dishes such as beef bourguignon and Provençal stew, grilled Mediterranean vegetables with Provençal herbs, and aged hard cheeses like Comté and Parmesan.
