The smallest of the cuvées produced by Domaine des 3 Cellier, the 2015 Chateauneuf du Pape Eternelle is very good but disappointing in the context of the rest of the lineup. Pure Grenache from the sandy-safre soils of La Garidole and vinified and matured exclusively in stainless steel, the wine nevertheless didn't pop the way it should. Cherry, clove and allspice aromas display ample intensity and complexity, and on the palate the wine is creamy and supple. Unfortunately, it falls off rapidly on the finish and lacks the energy and freshness of the domaine's top efforts.
