Piedlong Chateauneuf-du-Pape, Rhone, France 2021 Château de la Négly The 2019 Chardonnay Ryo-fu offersTasted just prior to bottling, Piedlong's 2021 Chateauneuf du Pape is a blend of 90% Grenache and 10% Mourvdre from the lieu dit of the same name. Scents of roses, red berries and citrus zest appear on the nose, while the medium to full bodied palate is silky and elegant, with a hint of cracked pepper on the lingering finish. 94 Pts Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
