"I always enjoy this Lesec cuvée, and this 2019 Châteauneuf du Pape Galets Blonds is apparently another great success. Pretty notes of red currant, blackberry, bouquet garni and candied violet give way to an elegant, medium to full-bodied Châteauneuf du Pape with a terrific sense of freshness, ripe but present tannins and a superb finish. Well worth seeking out." (Jeb Dunnuck 2020) A bargain!

About the wine:
The 2019 Châteauneuf du Pape les Galets Blonds presents seductive notes of garrigue, raspberry and peppery spice. It's full-bodied, creamy and silky on the finish, another successful vintage for this cuvée, which can be enjoyed now and over the next decade.
