2016 M. Chapoutier Chateauneuf-du-Pape Barbe Rac Rouge
Description
The 2015 Chateauneuf du Pape Barbe Rac is 100% Grenache, but this parcel is located on the western edge of the appellation, in what Chapoutier describes as a hot, dry location—even in the context of the appellation. From vines planted in 1901-1902, this is a dense, plummy wine, oozing with concentrated fruit and even turning a bit fudge-like on the long, supple finish. I don't expect it to age quite as well as the Croix de Bois, but it's still a thrilling wine.

Tasting note
2016年沙普提亞教皇新堡巴布拉克紅酒，是釀酒藝術與風土表達的典範。這款有機生物動力紅酒，來自百年老藤格納殊葡萄，釋放出精緻優雅的風味交響曲。如絲綢般柔滑的純淨紅果味，包括成熟的櫻桃酒，並融合了草本香氣、甘草等香料以及一絲巧克力的香氣。口感豐滿、肉質、圓潤，酒體結構優異，餘韻悠長。開瓶醒酒兩小時，能讓其複雜的性格充分展現，是搭配燉煮羊腿或紅酒燉牛肉等豐盛料理的絕佳選擇。
The 2016 M. Chapoutier Chateauneuf-du-Pape Barbe Rac is a testament to the mastery of winemaking and the expression of terroir. This organic and biodynamic wine, crafted from century-old Grenache vines, exudes a symphony of refined and elegant flavors. A silky tapestry of pure red fruits, including ripe kirsch, is complemented by a bouquet of herbaceous notes, spices like liquorice, and a hint of chocolate. On the palate, it reveals an ample, fleshy, and round body with outstanding density and an impressive length. Decanting for two hours will allow its complex character to fully unfold, making it an excellent companion to hearty dishes such as braised lamb shanks or beef bourguignon.
