The 2020 Châteauneuf Du Pape Grand Vin unquestionably brings more richness and power, with rocking black cherry and blackberry fruits as well as ground pepper, licorice, and garrigue-like nuances. Full-bodied and concentrated, with ripe tannins, it's a quintessential 2020 that can be drunk any time over the coming 15+ years. This cuvée is 65% Grenache, 25% Syrah, and the rest Mourvedre that was partially destemmed and brought up in a mix of vessels, with 15% being new barrels.

The oak is present and integrated but not excessive and it doesn't rub out the fine definition and terroir expression. Long and straight, this is bold but drinkable, with a good sense of fluidity and freshness to the wine, but enough salt and extract to age well. The wines from Nalys are improving quickly, which is not surprising given the quality of the terroir: Bois Sénéchaux, la Crau and Grand Pierre. Fermented and aged in a variety of sizes of oak barrel, including 18% new oak.

A beautifully balanced Chateauneuf with an impressive freshness for this ripe vintage. The floral aromas accentuate the impression of lightness and the silky mouthfeel, which the super-fine tannins create, completes the picture. Very long finish. A cuvee of 65% grenache, 25% syrah, and 10% mourvedre.

Smuk, lokal, urtepræget næse. Sødmefuld, lækker, let poleret, meget frisk, meget eg, men velintegreret, vellavet sag. Elegant, let cremet, imødekommende – giv den et par år (og gerne mere) til at absorbere fadet. Smager markant bedre fem dage efter åbning ...!

Showing a bit of wood influence, this prospective blend of Nalys's 2020 Chateauneuf du Pape Grand Vin hints at pastry crust, blueberries, black cherries and licorice. It's full-bodied and creamy textured, lush and long on the finish. 2023 - 2035
