Piedlong Rouge 2021
JAMESSUCKLING.COM – AVRIL 2024 – JAMES SUCKLING
I love the ripe red plum aroma of this generous and polished 2021. Stacks of fine tannins give it a very sensuous texture that makes it difficult to say no. Very long, velvety finish with excellent spicy complexity. From grenache growing on galet cobblestone soil and a small amount of mourvedre grown on sand that are fermented separately. Drink or hold. 94 pts

92. Another Burgundy styled beauty, the 2021 Châteauneuf-du-Pape Piedlong reveals a light ruby hue as well as a great nose of sweet strawberries, sappy spring flowers, raspberries, and spice. It’s very elegant, medium-bodied, has fine tannins, no hard edges, and outstanging length.

92-94. Tasted just prior to bottling, Piedlong’s 2021 Chateauneuf du Pape is a blend of 90% Grenache and 10% Mourvèdre from the lieu-dit of the same name. Scents of roses, red berries and citrus zest appear on the nose, while the medium to full-bodied palate is silky and elegant, with a hint of cracked pepper on the lingering finish.

97-98/100
Issue d’une vigne située au point culminant de l’appellation, cette cuvée parcellaire provenant du secteur de Pignan est à dominante de grenache, avec 1O% de mourvèdre sur sable. Elle sent la fraise à peine cuite, mais surtout le bois de rose. Un vin sapide et élégant doté d’un muscle long et fin, légèrement introverti. Vinifié sans SO2. Ses 15,5° sont harmonieusement contrebalancés par une intense salinité. Très belle réussite.

The 2021 Châteauneuf Du Pape Piedlong comes from a site in the center of the appellation and is mostly Grenache. It’s another pretty, elegant wine from this estate and has a floral character as well as notes of ripe cherries, darker strawberries, spice, and garrigue. It has fine tannins, good balance, and outstanding length. 90-92 pts.
