The star in this year's stable at Mayard is the 2020 Chateauneuf du Pape la Crau de Ma Mere, a (mainly) foudre-aged blend of 80% Grenache, 10% Mourvèdre and 10% Syrah. Blackberries and black cherries pick up hints of vanilla and cedar on the nose (the Mourvèdre and Syrah are aged in smaller oak), while the wine is full-bodied and richly concentrated in the mouth, tannic but ripe, balanced and long. With reverberating notes of licorice and dark chocolate on the finish, this is yummy stuff that just needs a bit of time. ... More details

Even better, the 2020 Châteauneuf Du Pape La Crau De Ma Mere comes all from the La Crau lieu-dit and is 80% Grenache and 10% each of Syrah and Mourvedre. Darker berry fruits, scorched earth, ground pepper, iron, and meaty notes all emerge on the nose, and it’s medium to full-bodied, has a concentrated, layered mouthfeel, fabulous tannins, and a great, great finish. This classic, elegant 2020 is going to put a smile on your face any time over the coming 15+ years.

Region: Rhone Valley

The southern French wine region of the Rhone Valley has been home to wine-makers for over two thousand years, with the first grapevines of the region being cultivated in around 600 BCE when the ancient Greeks arrived with their knowledge of viticulture and eagerness to produce more wine. Today, the region is famed around the world for the excellence of its produce, and has dozens of wineries making the most of the wide range of grape varietals which flourish there. In the northern sub-region, the continental climate and brisk winds coming off the Central Massif allow wineries to grow a smaller range of varietals – predominantly Syrah, Marsanne, Roussane and Viognier, whereas the southern, more Mediterranean sub-region allows far more range. Here, dozens of varietals are grown for the production of white, red and rosé wines, all packed full of flavor and able to express the unique terroir they are grown on.

Country: France

France is renowned across the globe for its quality wines and the careful expertise which goes into making them, but what is truly remarkable about this relatively small country is the vast range of wines it produces in such huge amounts each year. Not only are the finest red wines in the world said to come from the beautiful regions of Bordeaux and Burgundy, but elsewhere in the country we find the Champagne region, and areas such as the Rhone Valley and the Loire, whose white wines consistently receive awards and accolades by the plenty. This range is a result of the great variety of climatic conditions and terrain found in France, coupled with generations of wine makers working within single appellations. Their knowledge of specific terroirs and grape varieties has, over time, perfected the production of wines within their region, and the end results continue to impress the world to this day.
