92/100 Parker

The Châteauneuf-du-Pape Lucile Avril 2023, composed of 80% Grenache Noir, 10% Syrah, and 10% Mourvèdre, stands out as a classic expression of the appellation. Revealing aromas of blackberry, kirsch, and raspberry, complemented by notes of garrigue, licorice, and subtle spices, this wine is full-bodied and elegant, with a juicy, fruity core, fine tannins, and sufficient acidity to maintain its freshness. Aged in mixed barrels (light-colored and concrete), it offers a long, measured finish, subtly marked by mineral and savory nuances.
