Dominated by Grenache, the blend also includes Mourvedre and Syrah and has remained practically unchanged since its creation. It boasts all the treasures and mythical taste of a great Châteauneuf-du-Pape wine. Château Fortia is not a winery that chases good press on a whim. These are consistent, classic wines that faithfully represent the region’s terroir year after year. Flavors of macerated red fruits, garrigue herbs, and cracked pepper dominate the 2020. The Syrah component brings savory depth, while the Mourvèdre adds earthy grip. The finish is long, powerful, and slightly saline, marked by lingering notes of clove, black tea, and dried rose.
Wine Spectator: 92 Points
Supple and engaging, with steeped cherry and cassis melded with ganache and woodsy savory bass notes. Grilled orange peel–edged acidity brings good energy to the warm, ripe profile, while a refreshing menthol note marks the nicely melded close. Grenache, Mourvèdre and Syrah. Drink now through 2030.
