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.
