BOSQUET DES PAPES Chteauneuf-du-Pape Rouge ‘A la Gloire de Mon Grand-Pere’ 2018

This Chateauneuf-du-Pape displays a lovely red hue with shiny accents. Its aromatic profile reveals enticing spice notes on the nose. With a smooth and refined palate, it pairs wonderfully with dishes like game, grilled rib roasts, meat in sauce, and cheese when served at room temperature.

I think the star of the show in 2018 is the 2018 Chteauneuf Du Pape A La Gloire De Mon Grand-Pre, which is almost all Grenache. It reveals a medium ruby color as well as a beautiful bouquet of black raspberries, dried flowers, incense, and Provenal spice to go with a medium to full-bodied, downright sexy style on the palate. With silky tannins, plenty of mid-palate depth, and a great finish, it’s another 2018 that’s loaded with charm and is going to drink nicely for 10-15 years.

94WINE ADVOCATE

Deeper, earthier and spicier than the other bottlings, the 2018 Chteauneuf du Pape A la Gloire de Mon Grand-Pre is essentially all old-vine Grenache from the La Gardiole lieu dit. Dustings of cinnamon, allspice and clove accent black cherries and loam on the nose, while the full-bodied palate is rich and velvety, ending long and softly dusty. It should be the longest-lived of the magnificent trio of 2018 reds produced at Bosquet des Papes.
