Paul Autard Cote Ronde Chateauneuf du Pape 2019

Product description

The story of the Autard family is the story of all great appellations, in that it is the story of the evolution of expertise, the sum of first-hand experiences, observations, experiments, inventions, and discoveries, in this case specific to Chateauneuf-du-Pape, and the Autard property in particular as it is passed down from generation to generation.

95 Points - Jeb Dunnuck

the 2019 Chateauneuf Du Pape La Côte Ronde sports a dense purple color as well as a beautiful bouquet of red and blue fruits intermixed with plenty of violet, chocolate, peppery herbs, and floral nuances. 

93 Points - Wine Spectator

Juicy and still youthfully compact, with blackberry, black cherry and raspberry reduction notes coiled up in the core, while dark tobacco, chocolate and black tea accents swirl through. Not shy with the toast but keeps definition and energy through the lengthy finish.

Half Grenache and half Syrah, the 2019 Chateauneuf du Pape Cuvée la Cote Ronde spent 17 months in new oak barrels and was yet to be bottled when I tasted near the end of 2021. Full-bodied, velvety in texture and quite dense on the palate, it delivers notes of plum, spice cake, vanilla and clove.
