Domaine du Vieux Lazaret Chateauneuf-du-Pape Rouge 2019

Domaine du Vieux Lazaret Châteauneuf-du-Pape Rouge 2019 reveals a deep, dark ruby color with crimson flashes. The nose opens beautifully with an incredibly aromatic bouquet of ripe dark cherries, crushed raspberries, and cassis paste layered with nuances of sandalwood, wild thyme, and toasted oak spice. On the palate, this full-bodied Southern Rhône red blend showcases a solid tannin structure balanced by a vibrant streak of natural acidity and excellent mid-palate concentration. Fleshy orchard and berry fruits seamlessly transition into a long, driven finish accented by notes of red licorice, mulling spices, and a touch of earthiness.

Food Pairing: This rich blend pairs excellently with slow-roasted lamb shanks, grilled beef burgers, or a traditional Greek beef stifado.

A big, dark Chateauneuf with plenty of earthy and smoky character. Solid structure, good depth and lively acidity on the full-bodied palate. Slightly rustic finish. Drink or hold.
