With yields down, and demand up, it's harder and harder to find hidden gems in Chateauneuf du Pape. Such is the case for the amazing Heredita 2019, made by the famed co-op of Le Cellier des Princes. Heredita is a cuvee born from the collaboration between Philippe Cambie, the Grenache master, specialist of the Chateauneuf-du-Pape Cru, named Winemaker of the Year by Robert Parker, and Thierry Ferlay, talented winemaker of Cellier des Princes since 2009. Made from century-old Grenache vines and a dollop of Mourvedre, the Cellier des Princes Heredita combines tradition and modernity. It's a full-bodied but balanced wine that highlights rich, easing black fruit flavors edged by a delicate coating of licorice flavors and spices. Drink now through 2040, don't miss this limited release!
"This vintage seemed to produce exactly what the team at Cellier des Princes needed, and the 2019 Chateauneuf du Pape Heredita, crafted with the advice of consultant Philippe Cambie, boasts lovely floral aromas backed by layers of ripe black cherries. It's full-bodied, silky and expansive without excess weight, a real beauty. Yes, it's on the ripe, almost plum and chocolate side of things, but it retains a sense of weightlessness and terrific length that's hard to top." The Wine Advocate, 96 Points
