Château Vieux Parc La Sélection Rouge 2023

Château Vieux Parc La Sélection Rouge 2023
AOP Corbières
This is serious stuff!  A very deep colour, this is based on 40% Carignan from 100 year-old vines with 40%  Syrah, 10% Grenache and 10% Mourvèdre.  The blend then has 12 months of gentle oak ageing in 500L barrels.
Medium in colour, it has a fantastic nose of plum, black cherry, black olive with a hint of vanilla.  On the palate it is soft, rich, full of cherry and black fruits yet remaining elegant.  It finishes with a hint of liquorice and gentle tannin.
If you like Châteauneuf-du-Pape, you’ll love this.  Unbelievable value.
