"Matured for 18 months in foudre, the 2021 Châteauneuf-du-Pape Les Safres is a blend of 90% Grenache and 10% Mourvèdre. Pale ruby-colored, it reveals enticing red fruit aromas mingled with tomato leaf and cloves. Velvety tannins envelope this full-bodied red, balanced by fresh acidity and culminating in a savory finish." -Nicolas Greinacher

"While the fruit may be less explosive in the 2021 Chateauneuf du Pape Les Safres than in the 2020, it remains charming and seductive, a gentle ride of raspberries and cherries, wrapped in subtle herbal intricacies. It's medium to full-bodied, silky-textured and long on the finish." -Joe Czerwinski
