TASTING NOTES

Domaine Les Escondudes Châteauneuf Du Pape 2020 is a refined expression of the renowned Southern Rhône terroir, crafted exclusively from 100% Grenache grapes. Nestled next to the iconic Vieux Télégraphe estate and created by acclaimed winemaker Philippe Cambie, this wine embodies elegance and complexity with a smooth, sultry profile.

On the palate, it reveals vibrant notes of red berries including redcurrant, ripe strawberry, and cherry, seamlessly balanced by a spicy finish enriched with hints of liquorice and subtle peppery nuances. The wine’s polished and fine tannins provide a graceful structure that enhances its full and round mouthfeel.

Produced with meticulous care, the grapes undergo destalking followed by a 20-day fermentation in stainless steel tanks at controlled temperatures between 27 and 32°C, with daily punching of the cap to extract optimal flavor and color. Maturation in concrete tanks preserves the purest expression of Grenache and the unique terroir characterized by rounded pebbles over clay subsoil in Bédarrides.

This vintage, rated 92 points by Robert Parker, offers terrific value within the prestigious Châteauneuf-du-Pape appellation. It pairs beautifully with roasted meats, game, and a variety of cheeses, making it an exceptional choice for those seeking a sophisticated yet accessible Rhône wine.

Discover the harmony of tradition and terroir in Domaine Les Escondudes 2020, a wine that captures the essence of Grenache with finesse and depth.

Scores

95/100

Rich and opulent, yet graceful, the wine shows dark berry, cured meat, cake spice, mushroom, and roasted hazelnut aromas. It's wonderfully weighted and expansive in the mouth, delivering plush texture backed by layers of polished tannins, finishing impressively long and complex.

All Grenache off the region's famous galets roulés, the 2020 Chateauneuf du Pape Domaine les Escondudes offers up hints of struck match and green onions, then opens to nicely ripened red raspberries and cherries, even some strawberry notes. Aged entirely in stainless steel, it's full-bodied, supple and almost creamy in texture
