"The greatest wine ever made at this address is the 2016 Châteauneuf-du-Pape Le Lien, which is 100% Grenache from the Brusquières and Terres Blanches lieux-dits that was destemmed and brought up all in tank. It offers a huge bouquet of spring flowers, seaweed wrappers, Christmas spice, garrigue, black cherries and black currants. Deep, rich, powerful and layered, with a weightless texture and perfect integration of its fruit, tannins, and acidity, it’s a Grenache lover’s dream. Drink this elixir any time over the coming 10-15 years."
