Description for the Le Tradition Rouge ...
2017 Vintage engendered climatic records which caused a particularly premature harvest, with the harvest beginning on August 18th. It's also one of the smallest harvests of the last forty years, with average yields around 19 hl/ha. This is mainly due to important “Coulure” phenomena and significant hydric deficit.
Tasting Note from Fairley’s Wines | 2017 ...
The Chateauneuf Du Pape Le Tradition Rogue appears a superb red Amarante color with red Falun reflections with aleppo pine aromas associated with black plum on the nose. The palate displays a beautiful freshness and sucrosity on aromas of red fruit sabayon, blackcurrant cream and raspberry cream, finishing with sweet spices of oregano and bay leaf. Best served with roasted beef or pork chop.
