The 2015 Domaine la Millière 'La Bessade' Châteauneuf-du-Pape is an absolutely gorgeous showing which is all about finesse. This cuvèe is sourced from a single plot in the heart of the estate, with vines planted to sandy soils. It begins with beautiful aromatics of ripe cherries and plums which are woven together with exotic spices, smoke, floral and a touch of licorice all taking shape. On the palate this is medium-plus bodied with a remarkable round velvety texture that displays a lovely seamless quality. It continues to impress with its excellent overall balance and focus as it leads up to the ultra-long finish, where juicy red and dark fruits leave a lasting impression. While already impressive this sensational wine will age marvelously over the next decade and beyond. (Best 2021-2034) - December, 2017 (JD)
