Reviews
"2020 : There are 26,000 bottles of the 2020 Chateauneuf du Pape La Begude des Papes, a decent amount for a Châteauneuf of this quality. A blend of 70% Grenache, 15% Syrah, 12% Mourvèdre and 3% Cinsault from the les Brusquières lieu-dit, aged in a variety of vessels, including 10% new barriques, it reveals remarkable purity of fruit, with notes of cherries, black cherries and blackberries. It's full-bodied and supple, rich and powerful, with a long, reasonably elegant finish."
