Is Châteauneuf-du-Pape a good wine?
What reviewers say
“One would like to say that the wine is young, fresh and vigorous and my only complaint is that there are too many ripe fruits in it. Can you imagine - 18 year old wine and it holds so well with all kinds of fruits both in smell and taste?”
From a top-rated Vivino review for this bottle.
Summary
The outstanding 2003 Chateauneuf du Pape Tradition is a full-bodied, peppery wine that oozes the character of Provence with its notes of lavender, herbes de Provence, and sweet black cherries and raspberries. Some licorice, saddle leather, and salty sea breeze notes also make it into the character of this full-bodied, concentrated wine which is silky enough to be drunk now or cellared for 10-12 years.
Pierre Usseglio Châteauneuf-du-Pape is a red from Châteauneuf-du-Pape, France. It is made from Grenache Noir. At $57.89 for the lowest 750 ml listing, it belongs to the $30–60 band.
