Domaine Jean Royer Chateauneuf du Pape Le Petit Roy
Wine Information
This wine is made from three sources 0.6ha situated near a site south of town and outside any appellation (Syrah and Grenache). 0.5ha in Orange is situated in AOC Cotes du Rhone (Mourvèdre). Part of the wine is declassified Châteauneuf-du-Pape.
In 2015, La Petit Roy isn’t very “Petit.” In fact, it’s a pretty big and burly thing with deep base notes of black raspberry and roasted strawberry plus lively accents of crushed herb, lavender, black pepper and spice. It’s wide open and ready to love today but will still be pumping out joy in 2020. Very Provençal and pretty enough to serve at a party but with more than enough heft to pair with leftover leg of lamb.
