Comte Senard, Corton Clos Meix Vintage:2017 The 2007 Châteauneuf du Pape(a large 2 ha monopole of the Domaine with 80% of the vines planted in 45 and the rest in 75; 100% whole clusters). Here too there is moderate wood influence to the intensely earthy and overtly sauvage aromas of spiced plum and black raspberry.
