Review:

\”The 2021 Chteauneuf Du Pape La Dame Voyageuse is darker in color and slightly more Grenache-dominated, made up of 90% Grenache and the rest Syrah, Mourvedre, Vaccarese, and Counoise. Blackberries, violets, graphite, and peppery garrigue all define the bouquet. and it\’s medium to full-bodied, with beautiful balance, ripe, silky tannins, and a great finish.\”
