A wonderful discovery! To be opened 2h00 before drinking so that it expresses its full potential, the guests all enjoyed it, and some are planning to add it to their cellar.

One word: excellent . A perfect match with lamb nuts. To be recommended without any problem.

True to what you'd expect from a Chateauneuf du Pape: powerful, revealing a multitude of aromas on the nose but remaining perfectly balanced. Candied notes of wild berries. Excellent now and guaranteed to keep.

Tasted in December 2020. A powerful Châteauneuf du Pape with good black fruit aromas. The tannins are beginning to soften. A little more cellaring and it will be perfect!

Red fruit on the nose. On the palate, red and black fruits with a spicy finish. This wine was an excellent accompaniment to a barbecue, but be careful not to use it to spice up a dish.

A good wine, powerful but very well balanced. Aromas of candied black fruit. Cellar for a few years to reveal its full potential.
Maison François-Xavier Nicolas
Maison François-Xavier Nicolas is a domain from the region Vallée du Rhône in France, that produces 21 wines available to purchase, including the wine Le Jardin des Papes 2020.
Appellation
Châteauneuf-du-Pape
The appellation Châteauneuf-du-Pape is part of the region of Vallée du Rhône from France which include Maison François-Xavier Nicolas and its 21 cuvées. Spread over The Rhone Valley and its rich, complex terroirs. The region is divided into two distinct subregions: Northern Rhone (known as Rhône Septentrional) and Southern Rhone (Rhône Méridional). In the former we find strong wines in beautiful colours with warm, spicy notes, produced by vineyards that stretch 4,700 ha along the Rhone. The latter, with an area of 71,000 ha, is much more important, and this is evident of course in its annual production of red, rosé and white wines quite unlike those of the Northern Rhone., this region is 3 million hectolitres per year of red wines, rosés, dry and sparkling white wines, and natural sweet wine..
