The 2020 Domaine Durieu Châteauneuf-du-Pape Cuvée Lucile Avril is a red wine made primarily from old-vine Grenache, complemented by 10% Mourvèdre and 10% Syrah. The grapes are sourced from vineyards with blue clay and limestone soils located on the plateau north of Châteauneuf-du-Pape.
Fermentation takes place in concrete tanks, and the wine is aged for 12 months in concrete vessels. It boasts complexity with notes of black raspberries, candied orange, raw meat, and licorice.
This wine is a classic example of Châteauneuf-du-Pape, offering depth, complexity, and excellent aging potential.
