MAGNUM CUVEE DU BARON

AOC Châteauneuf-du-Pape red 2020


A tribute to Baron Pierre Le Roy through a powerful wine that reflects all the typicity of our terroir.

76,40€

THE VINTAGE
After a very mild spring of 2020, the summer was hot and dry. These favorable weather conditions allowed the grapes to be in perfect health. Red wines are fresh, elegant, supple, which makes them already suitable for tasting. The 2020 is undoubtedly a vintage of perfect balance combining freshness and delectability.

TASTING NOTES
Intense ruby red color with purple reflections. Charming nose of graphite, truffle and blackcurrant with hints of liquorice. The mouth is voluminous and structured. The tannins are dense and velvety. Zan with violets and spices mingle with fresh, ripe fruit. Complex and concentrated, with good length and lots of elegance.
