The 2021 Châteauneuf-du-Pape Cuvée Girard is a blend of 88% Grenache, 4% Syrah, 3% Mourvèdre, 3% Cinsaut and 2% Counoise. Swirling the glass displays a fragrant perfume of spice box, ripe red and black cherry, strawberry, mint and a pinch of white pepper. This refined, full-bodied Cuvée Girard is neatly balanced by fresh acidity and framed by polished tannins. It closes with a savory finish.
