Int'l Wine Report 93pt

The 2019 'Cuvee des deux Soeurs' begins with a lovely aromatic profile of fresh black raspberries and dark cherries, which come together herbs, lavender and hints of licorice. On the palate this possesses a wonderful medium-full body with a rich, vibrant core that displays excellent concentration and focus through the finish. This is already outstanding, but should continue to develop beautifully over the course of the next decade.

The 2019 Chateauneuf Du Pape Cuvee Des Deux Soeurs is 90% Grenache and 10% Syrah, all aged in concrete. It's a classic, peppery, garrigue, and savory cherry-driven 2019 offering ripe tannins, plenty of mid-palate depth, and a great finish.

Cherries, strawberry, and spicy kirsch notes are found easily on the nose and palate. The wine is soft, fresh, and filled with generous layers of ripe red berries with a touch of spice and herbs in the finish. Give this a year or two of age and it will be hitting its stride. The wine blends 90% Grenache with 10% Syrah.

Notes of sun-drenched black cherry and strawberry preserves are sonorous in this fruit-forward, piercing blend of 90% Grenache and 10% Syrah. It highlights all of Grenache's red-fruited delights and soft, pillowy tannins along with a twist of Syrah's peppery, brambly spice. Delightful young, it should maintain peak through 2030 at least.

Bright and juicy, with a ball of red licorice, plum and red currant paste flavors, pushed by fresh acidity, carried with a lively iron twinge throughout. Grenache and Syrah.

Estate

The Domaine Tour Saint Michel has been a family estate for 3 generations. At first, Michel FABRE, the founder of the estate in 1930, passed on his passion to his son, Henri. Together with his wife Eliane, he developed and extended the estate. Today, the vines cover 40 hectares, including 35 hectares in the appellation Chateauneuf-du-Pape. Mireille, their daughter, is now in charge of the estate, inspired by the family tradition but also bringing a more modern approach. The estate is located in Chateauneuf-du-Pape, in the south of the appellation.

Tasting notes

The blend of power and subtlety found in Domaine Tour Saint-Michel's, Cuvee des Deux Soeurs reveals a multi-generational project to master the patchwork of geology and microclimates found in Chateauneuf-du-Pape. It opens with aromas of crushed black cassis set against a forest floor backdrop, while the medium-bodied palate delivers plum, cranberry skin, and clove notes.
