Vignobles Mayard Châteauneuf du Pape Clos du Calvaire 2021

The 2021 Châteauneuf Du Pape Clos Du Calvaire is up-front and charming, with ripe cherry and strawberry fruits, notes of peppery garrigue and spice, medium-bodied richness, and ripe, supple tannins. It's another clearly outstanding, balanced, satisfying wine in the lineup. It doesn't have the structure or tannic grip of the other two releases and is going to drink nicely right out of the gate.
