Châteauneuf-du-Pape Omnia 2016 — Rotem & Mounir Saouma
This Châteauneuf-du-Pape Omnia 2016 from Rotem & Mounir Saouma embodies a rare, refined and deeply original expression of the southern Rhône. Made from Grenache, Syrah and Mourvèdre, it combines aromatic richness, an enveloping texture, floral complexity and great precision, in a style that is Mediterranean, sophisticated and remarkably balanced.
Terroir: Châteauneuf-du-Pape, precision and elegance of interpretation
Rotem & Mounir Saouma offer a highly personal reading of Châteauneuf-du-Pape, marked by a search for finesse, texture and aromatic depth. The Omnia cuvée brings together the major grape varieties of the appellation in a harmonious expression, where Grenache provides breadth and fruit, Syrah adds spicy depth, and Mourvèdre brings structure and poise.
The 2016 vintage gives a wine of great ripeness, but without excess. The concentration is carried by a particularly seductive texture, fine underlying freshness and a persistent finish. This is a Châteauneuf-du-Pape of grace and depth, capable of long evolution in bottle.
