L’Esprit Châteauneuf-du-Pape Rouge is a wine from Château Cabrières that expresses a classic and balanced interpretation of this prestigious appellation. The blend is predominantly based on Grenache, complemented by Syrah and Mourvèdre, sourced from vineyards planted on typical Châteauneuf-du-Pape soils, including areas covered with galets roulés.
Vinification is carried out with a focus on preserving fruit purity and the Mediterranean character of the wine, with controlled extraction and aging in oak vessels that add structure without dominating the aromatic profile. On the nose, the wine shows ripe red and dark fruit, spice, dried herbs, and subtle peppery notes.
The palate is full-bodied, warm, and well structured, with ripe tannins balanced by freshness. The finish is long and harmonious, marked by gentle spicy and mineral nuances.
L’Esprit is intended as an authentic expression of the appellation, approachable in its youth while offering the capacity to develop further with aging.
