Cuvée des Cadettes 2023
AOP Châteauneuf-du-Pape
The Cuvée des Cadettes is an entire story!
Indeed, it was the first plot replanted after the phylloxera aphid ravaged millions of hectares of vines. We owe this first plantation to Joseph Ducos, the estate’s owner, in the nineteenth century. Since then, the Cuvée des Cadettes has been made with the best grenache, syrah, and mourvèdre grapes expressing this unique terroir – elegant, intense, sophisticated, and well-balanced. To be enjoyed with wild game, aged meats, and other dishes as rare and complex as this wine.
A beautiful ruby red color. On the nose, the wine reveals aromas of ripe red and black fruits (cherry, plums), flowers (roses), and spices (pepper). The ample palate presents silky tannins with fleshy fruit. This 2023 vintage has a great deal of charm while maintaining a deep structure and a lively, refreshing texture. A Châteauneuf-du-Pape of great finesse, precise and well-balanced with a persistent finish, promising excellent aging potential!
