Domaine Giraud Châteauneuf-du-Pape 'Grenaches de Pierre', Rhone, France 2020 Chateau Gilette 96 Pts Robert Parker's Wine

96 Pts Robert Parker's Wine Advocate

This frizzante white isn’t widely known outside of its native Emilia-Romagna

with forward plum and blackberry fruit accented with saline mineral notes on the initial attack

There is a reason we keep going back to this as it's a display of Gamay that has a fine structure which reveals aromas of red summer fruits

but not at all strident
