Product Description

Overview

Winery: Cabrieres

Cabrieres Chateauneuf du Pape Rouge L'Esprit is made from 50% Grenache, 15% Syrah, 15% Mourvèdre, 10% Cinsault and 10% remaining: Muscardin, Counoise, Picpoul, Terret noir, Vaccarèse, Clairette, Bourboulenc, Roussanne, Picardan.

The vineyard is situated on the high tablelands, which are characteristic of the northern area of Châteauneuf-du-Pape. The terrain consists mainly of alpine diluvium and chalky Miocenian soil, with large flint pebbles covering the surface. These pebbles conserve the heat of the day during the night, thus avoiding too much evaporation.

85-year-old vines. Aged 12 months in French oak. Intense ruby color, with a dominant nose of black fruits (blackcurrant and blackberry) evolving into smoke and grilled notes. Robust tannins on the palate with a long finish.

Pair with choice red meat, prime rib and game, or try with strong cheeses and chocolate dessert.

Review:

Previously released as the Cuvée Prestige, the 2019 Châteauneuf Du Pape Esprit is based on 50% Grenache, 20% Syrah, 15% Mourvèdre, and the rest a mix of other permitted varieties. It was 80% destemmed and is still resting in a mix of concrete tanks and old barrels. It’s impressive, with lots of up-front, ripe black cherry-like fruit as well as notes of spice, orange blossom, sandalwood, and pepper. Medium to full-bodied on the palate, it has ripe, yet present tannins, a kiss of background oak, good acidity, and outstanding length. There are roughly 2,300 cases produced, and it’s going to have two decades of longevity.

Glistening violet. Assertive aromas of ripe blackberry, cherry pie, garrigue and candied flowers feature an exotic spice flourish. At once rich and energetic in style, offering palate-coating black and blue fruit flavors that turn livelier on the back half. Finishes chewy and quite long, with slowly building tannins and resonating spice and floral notes.

The Arnaud family has owned the Château Cabrières property for three generations. In 2009, Guy Arnaud handed over the estate to his daughter, Agnes Arnaud, married to Patrick Vernier. Today, Agnes and Patrick are run the estate together.

The name ‘Cabrières’ comes from the Latin name Capraria, designating a place where goats are raised.

Château Cabrières is located in the village of Châteauneuf-du-Pape, in the Vaucluse department. The property dates back many centuries, indicated by a bread oven door that was discovered and preserved - the stone cut recalls the technique used in the 14th and 15th centuries. This proves the historic nature of the Chateau and its vine stock, both of which benefit from the flinty nature of the local soil, where vines have been planted since 1344.

The CDP vineyard is situated on the high tablelands, which are characteristic of the northern area of Châteauneuf-du-Pape. The terrain consists mainly of alpine diluvium and chalky Miocenian soil, with large flint pebbles covering the surface. These pebbles conserve the heat of the day during the night, thus avoiding too much evaporation.
