Guigal Chateauneuf-du-Pape 2016

This pope of the southern Côtes-du-Rhône seduces with its richness and round tannins. The winery characterizes this Chateauneuf has spices and mature red fruits. Round tannins with powerful complexity. A rich unctuous wine with notes of mature plums, hazelnuts and red fruits. Very rich wine full of harmony and balance.

Wine Advocate writes full-bodied, lush, velvety in texture and packed with fruit and garrigue, the 2016 Chateauneuf du Pape should prove to be Guigal’s best Chateauneuf du Pape to date when it’s released in 2020, while the Wine Spectator writes Solidly built, featuring cherry and plum paste notes, laced with stony minerality, tobacco and garrigue accents. This has grip but remains well-integrated, ending with subtle persistence on the cedar-tinged finish.
