As always, the 2012 Chateauneuf du Pape Mourre des Perdrix (70% Grenache, 14% Syrah, 14% Mourvedre and the balance assorted varieties) is the most elegant and seamless of the three special cuvees. Notes of raspberries, black cherries, flowers and spice all show in this medium-bodied, silky, ultra-fine Chateauneuf du Pape that can be enjoyed anytime over the coming decade.
