Les Apôtres Châteauneuf du Pape 2017
Descripción
De viñas muy viejas, algunas de ellas centenarias, provienen las uvas de Garnacha que dominan el perfumado y sedoso coupage que es este Les Apôtres. Domaine Raymond Usseglio & Fils, una de las bodegas clave de la prestigiosa A.O.C. Châteauneuf-du-Pape, está detrás de este tinto envejecido en vasijas de arcilla del que existen muy pocas botellas. Para no perderlo de vista.

Opinión de los críticos
The 2017 Chateauneuf du Pape Les Apotres was made in amphora, with four months of maceration. Based on Grenache, it includes a high proportion of other traditional varieties, including some white grapes. It's exquisitely perfumed, with enchanting scents of strawberries, roses, garrigue and black tea. Full-bodied but delicate and silky in feel, it builds on the finish, like a great Burgundy. With only 3,000 bottles produced (and none in 2018), it will be hard to track any down but well worth the hunt.
The newest cuvée in the lineup, the 2017 Châteauneuf Du Pape Les Apotres is a blend of 38% Grenache with the rest just about every permitted variety, brought up all in clay amphoras. It has a more rounded, silky, expressive texture, notes of blackcurrants, ground herbs, bouquet garni, and pepper, medium to full body, ripe tannins, and a great finish. It's already drinking beautifully and will keep for a decade.
Excepcional. 15° però que no ho semblen; gust suau d'entrada en boca, però retrogustos prolongats i afruitats en paladar. Molt bo
