On the palate this is almost a blend of the Genevrières and Perrières as there is some of each attribute on the middleweight flavors including minerality

There is excellent intensity to the detailed

quite floral bouquet with rose petals and cedar infusing the red berry fruit

floral and spiced apple

Marcoux, Chateauneuf Du Pape Vv other_regions_australia On the palate this isTasted from magnum at the domaine, the 2011 Chateauneuf du Pape Vieilles Vignes is among the top few wines of this maligned vintage. Despite being one of the most alcoholic years ever recorded at the estate, there's no trace of heat, just a magical mix of ripe cherries and garrigue on the nose, plus a wonderfully supple, silky mouthfeel and a minutes long finish. While I would recommend drinking this wine over the next few years from 750 milliliter
