Domaine Andre Mathieu Chateauneuf du Pape Rouge, 2018
The André Mathieu Estate is a family-owned vineyard that has been handed down from father to son for more than four centuries.
The 9 hectares of vineyards used to make their Chateauneuf du Pape cuvée are spread across several different terroirs within the appellation, producing the 13 grape varieties. Traditional winemaking methods and 12-14 months’ ageing in old “foudre” barrels give the wine a ruby-red colour with aromas of small red berries and spices. This is an elegant wine whose tannins integrate well with its rounded flavours. It will be nicely balanced after 4-6 years’ cellaring. Best served at 16°C with roasted and red meat, game birds and cheese
