👁 In the Glass:
Deep ruby with flashes of crimson — bold, concentrated, and glowing with southern warmth.

👃 On the Nose:
Beautifully perfumed with aromas of ripe black cherry, wild strawberry, and blackcurrant, layered with notes of garrigue herbs, liquorice, and cracked pepper. Subtle hints of violet, smoky earth, and warm spice lend aromatic depth and elegance.

👅 On the Palate:
Full-bodied and supple, with a core of juicy red and dark berries wrapped in silky tannins and lifted by vibrant acidity. The Grenache brings opulence and sweet fruit, while the Syrah adds structure, spice, and a touch of mineral tension. A long, flowing finish reveals lingering notes of dried herbs, black olive, and toasted wood.

🍽️ Food Pairing:
Ideal with herb-crusted lamb, duck with fig glaze, ratatouille, or aged cheeses like Tomme de Provence or Comté.

⏳ Ageing Potential:
Elegant and enjoyable now, but with the structure to age gracefully for 8–10 years, developing further complexity with notes of leather, truffle, and savoury spice.

✨ Why You’ll Love It:
Closerie de Vaudieu captures the spirit of Châteauneuf-du-Pape in a wine that is both approachable and profound. With its ripe fruit, polished tannins, and Rhône terroir expression, it offers a perfect balance of power and finesse — a true southern classic with modern charm.
