Chateauneuf-du-Pape 2010 - Feminessance - Domaine Tour Saint Michel

The "Féminessance" cuvée is the prestige cuvée of the Tour Saint Michel estate. But don't be fooled by this very delicate name. This Châteauneuf is far removed from the rounded cuvées dominated by an overripe Grenache. Here it is the classic and tannic style that dominates. This 2010 vintage is formidable and has immense aging potential.

50% Grenache 50% Syrah

50% New barrel 50% One year barrel
