Firm and structured, with plenty of tannin, the smaller production 2015 Chateauneuf du Pape Cuvée des Félix gives up the classic bouquet of roasted herbs, garrigue, black cherries and roasted meats that always seem to be present in this cuvée. A blend of 60% Grenache, 25% Mourvèdre and 5% each of Syrah, Cinsault and Counoise, this cuvée is aged in a mix of demi-muids and older barrels for upwards of two years, compared to the shorter elevage and foudre aging of the traditional cuvée. Give bottles 2-3 years of bottle age and drink through 2030.
