Tasting notes
Recently bottled when I tasted it (like the Barberini), the 2020 Chateauneuf du Pape Cornelia Constanza may have also been showing poorly as a result. A 100% Grenache cuvée aged in a mix of foudres, new barriques and concrete, it shows scents of leather, clove, stone fruit and a slightly horsey note. Medium to full-bodied, it's moderately concentrated, with a slightly metallic note on the finish.

The 2020 Châteauneuf Du Pape Cornelia Constanza (100% Grenache) is another singular expression of this incredible variety that shines on all accounts. Giving up a big bouquet of mulled red cherry and strawberry fruits as well as sappy flowers and garrigue, it hits the palate with medium to full-bodied richness, a supple, pure, elegant mouthfeel, ripe, polished tannins, and one heck of a great finish. Coming from more sandy soils, it shines for its finesse and elegance and is already hard to resist. It will keep for at least 10-12 years, and probably longer.
