value for money

"I always enjoy this cuvée from Lesec, and this 2019 Châteauneuf-du-Pape Galets Blonds appears to be another fine success. Lovely notes of red currant, blackberry, bouquet garni, and candied violet give way to an elegant, medium- to full-bodied Châteauneuf-du-Pape with a wonderful sense of freshness, ripe yet present tannins, and a superb finish. It’s worth seeking out.” (Jeb Dunnuck 2020) A great deal!

About the wine:

The 2019 Châteauneuf-du-Pape Les Galets Blonds offers enticing notes of garrigue, raspberry, and peppery spices. It is full-bodied, creamy, and silky on the finish—another successful vintage for this cuvée, which can be enjoyed now and over the next decade.
