This wine shows a bright cherry color with grenade reflections. The nose is very delicate, with aromas of red berries, fresh fig liquor and roasted plums. The mouth is elegant, extremely fine, with a superb density and sensation of soft tannins. We find aromas of blackberries, blueberries and licorice. A very elegant wine, well-balanced showing a high ageing potential.

Wine Advocate
Delectable swirls of strawberries, cherries and red raspberries mark the nose of the 2022 Chateauneuf du Pape Les Safres, a 90-10 blend of Grenache and Mourvèdre from the sandy soils of the les Bédines lieu-dit. Full-bodied yet silky, this vintage shows even more persistence of flavor on the finish than usual.
