Chateau Fortia Chateauneuf-du-Pape Tradition 2020 750ml
Product Details
Pretty purple color with bluish reflections. The first nose is spicy then powerfully fruity and ripe: strawberry jam and raspberry coulis. The mouth is unctuous and velvety. Very ample and greedy. The tannins are chiselled. The finish is very jammy, with a hint of mint that brings back a little tonicity and freshness.
The 2020 vintage, exceptionally early, marks the return of fresh wines, fairly well balanced. The winter temperatures were quite mild, which led to a very early bud burst, 12 days ahead of 2019. The mild spring allowed flowering in mid-May. The summer was hot, but not scorching. The 2020 vintage is characterized by good acidity and a lot of elegance. On the nose, they are marked by citrus fruits and freshness for the whites, fruit for the reds. The result is an elegant suppleness that makes them suitable for enjoying in their youth, without altering their aging potential. 2020 is a balanced vintage, combining freshness and delicacy.
Wine Spectator Review:
Supple and engaging, with steeped cherry and cassis melded with ganache and woodsy savory bass notes. Grilled orange peel–edged acidity brings good energy to the warm, ripe profile, while a refreshing menthol note marks the nicely melded close. Grenache, Mourvèdre and Syrah. Drink now through 2030. 8,000 cases made, 800 cases imported.
