    Château de Mille Célestine (Red) 2023 - OutstandingTasted by Elizabeth Gabay MW & Ben Bernheim

    Mid depth, semi-translucent ruby. Soft ripe cherry fruit and crunchy red berries with black pepper, slightly grassy eucalyptus and garrigue. Firm, sharp, youthful, chalky tannins and pithy acidity. Ready to drink, peppery and exciting with a wonderfully vibrant, joyous charm. This tastes exactly like Grenache ought to taste; peppery, crunchy and delicious.
