96 / 100"This vintage seemed to produce exactly what the team at Cellier des Princes needed, and the 2019 Chateauneuf du Pape Heredita—crafted with the advice of consultant Philippe Cambie—boasts lovely floral aromas backed by layers of ripe black cherries. A blend of 90% Grenache, 5% Mourvèdre and 5% Syrah, it's full-bodied, silky and expansive without excess weight, a real beauty. Yes, it's on the ripe, almost plum and chocolate side of things, but it retains a sense of weightlessness and terrific length that's hard to top."

Tasting Notes
Hérédita is a cuvée born from the collaboration between Philippe Cambie, the Grenache master, specialist of the Châteauneuf-du-Pape Cru, named Winemaker of the Year 2010 by Robert Parker. This exceptionnal Cuvée made from century-old Grenache vines combines tradition and modernity. Cambie has received 100 point scores fifteen times for his wines from this esteemed region. 90% Grenache, 5% Mourvèdre. 5% Syrah
The nose is intense and sophisticated, with notes of kirsch, black fruits such as blueberries and cherries, sweets spices and garrigue. The mouthfeel is smooth and powerful, with beautiful tannins and a very long finish of toasted aromas and spices.
