Crunchy and delicious blend of Grenache, Mataró, Carigan, Counoise and Shiraz. The wines hallmark is its freshness due to old oak ageing and as the name describes it is a wine best drunk in its youth
Matthew Jukes argues that Cuvée Juveniles started its life as a tribute to his favourite wine/bar restaurant in Paris, but today it is a world-class leader in Grenache/Mataro (Mourvèdre) circles. This is because it is one of the crunchiest and most lifted of this band of gastro-brigands, and yet it manages to pack a memorable punch without any residual oak, tannin or alcohol spoiling the view.
With increased perfume, finer detail, decreased ripeness, and more bounce, this is as ‘smashable’ as baby-fine-wine gets and marks 2022 as the definitive, modern Juves for cool, modern palates.
Food Pairing: Think French bistro. An easy drinking, yet intense wine that can pair wonderfully with an array of dishes from French onion soup, escargots or even steak tartare
18/20 Matthew Jukes
