Piedlong Chateauneuf-du-Pape, Rhone, France 2021 Champagne Hebrart offering hot summers with cold

offering hot summers with cold nights that allow the grapes to mature slowly

Tasted blind at the Burgfest 2018 red tasting

but not excessively oaked

really sharp Spätlese with generous sweetness

It has a very pure and charming bouquet with brambly red fruit

Piedlong Chateauneuf-du-Pape, Rhone, France 2021 Champagne Hebrart offering hot summers with coldI love the ripe red plum aroma of this generous and polished 2021. Stacks of fine tannins give it a very sensuous texture that makes it difficult to say no. Very long, velvety finish with excellent spicy complexity. From grenache growing on galet cobblestone soil and a small amount of mourvedre grown on sand that are fermented separately. Drink or hold. 94 Pts James Suckling
