Château Jérémie 2021

Description

There’s a refreshing herbaceous lift in this delicious red, which nicely offsets the dense, ripe fruit profile. Cherry, plum and red currant fill out the palate, flecked with smoked meat, violet, forest floor and mineral details. Pencil shavings line the finish, marked by black pepper and smoke. Shows great character and balance. Carignan, Grenache, Syrah and Mourvèdre. Drink now [to 2026]. Ranked #86 in Wine Spectator’s Top 100 Wines of 2023. Score – 92.
