Châteauneuf-du-Pape La Dame Voyageuse 2021

- 91 points -

The more Grenache-dominated release from this great estate, the 2021 Châteauneuf Du Pape La Dame Voyageuse checks in as 90% Grenache with small doses of Syrah, Mourvèdre, Vaccarèse, and Counoise that was raised in a combination of stainless steel, old barrels, and tiny amount of new oak. It's incredibly well done and has a medium to full-bodied, concentrated style as well as gorgeous aromatics of black raspberries, mulled cherries, Provençal spices, and sandalwood. With nicely integrated oak, ripe, well-integrated tannins, and a great mid-palate, it's a terrific 2021 that readers will love to drink any time over the coming 10-12 years or so.
