Domaine Jean Royer Chateauneuf-du-Pape Tradition 2019

All of the 2017s from this estate are downright impressive and well worth seeking out. The classic 2017 Châteauneuf du Pape is straight up outstanding, possessing medium-bodied richness, and a core of sweet fruit and classic notes of strawberries, dusty spice, dried herbs and licorice. It’s not going to make old bones, but it will dish out ample pleasure over the coming 7-8 years.
