The 2021 Chateauneuf du Pape La Combe des Fous is its usual assemblage of 60% old-vine Grenache from a sandy sector of La Crau, plus 20% Syrah, 10% Cinsault and 10% Vaccarese. Featuring soaring aromatics this vintage, it offers up hints of orange zest and Campari-like spice layered over ripe cherries and raspberries. It's full-bodied but wonderfully airy and silky in feel, accented by peppery spice on the long, lingering finish. ... More details

The 2021 Châteauneuf Du Pape La Combe Des Fous is a normal blend of 70% Grenache, 20% Syrah, and the rest Vaccarèse and Cinsault. Slightly deeper hued compared to the Vieilles Vignes, it has an incredibly Burgundian style in its ripe cherry and raspberry fruits as well as leafy herbs, graphite, and floral, spicy aromas and flavors. Ultra-fine, medium to full-bodied, and exceedingly elegant, with silky tannins, it's a dead ringer for a great Clos Vougeot.

There is so much to love about the 2021 Châteauneuf-du-Pape La Combe des Fous. Albeit it doesn’t match the quality achieved in the preceding two vintages, it marries elegance, power and complexity remarkably well. Swirling the glass unveils glossy red fruit aromatics, followed by black plum and black cherry, a dash of garrigue and menthol. Full-bodied and swathed in ever-so-velvety tannins, the complex finish is delicious.

Region: Rhone Valley

For over two thousand years, the southern French region of the Rhone Valley has been home to wine-makers and wineries of many different types. The ancient Greeks were the first to discover that a wide range of grape varietals can flourish in the rich soils and micro-climates which typify the region, and little has changed to this day. In the modern age, the Rhone Valley is recognized around the world as the home of excellent quality white, red and rosé wines, as well as some of the most highly respected blended wines on earth. The region is split into two distinctive sub-regions, with the cooler, continental northern sub-region producing primarily Syrah, Marsanne, Roussane and Viognier wines of exquisite quality, and the hotter southern sub-region growing a much wider variety of grapes.

Country: France

It is widely understood and accepted that the finest wines in the world come out of France. Whether you are drinking a vintage bottle from one of the famed Grand Cru wineries of Bordeaux - such as Chateau Margaux or Chateau Lafite-Rothschild - or a more simple and affordable bottle from one of the lesser known appellations in Burgundy, the likelihood is that the wine is packed full of intense and interesting flavors, and has a fine, balanced structure typical of almost all French produce. This reputation for excellence is taken extremely serious by the French, with dozens of regularly updated laws and regulations ensuring the quality and accurate labeling of wines. Such dedication and passion for fine wine, representative of the region in which it is produced, means customers can be assured that when they buy a bottle from France, they are buying something almost certain to please and delight.
