Chimère Châteauneuf-du-Pape 2012 is part of the magnum-only collaboration between Manfred Krankl of Sine Qua Non, Philippe Cambie, and the Maurel brothers of Clos Saint Jean. Benchmark shows the 2012 vintage in 1.5L with 99-point Wine Advocate recognition, while merchant snippets describe it as a cellar selection built mostly on Mourvèdre with smaller Grenache and white-variety components.
Tasting Profile
- Nose: Merchant snippets reference bold fruit and sweet-spice complexity for the 2012 magnum.
- Palate: Source context points to a rich, Mourvèdre-led Châteauneuf-du-Pape selected by Manfred Krankl.
- Finish: Expected to be long and cellar-worthy, but the exact published note should be confirmed from an accessible full source before final publication.
