Origin

Produced in the Southern Rhône Valley, France, within the prestigious Châteauneuf-du-Pape appellation known for its rich terroir and historic vineyards.

Variety

The wine is a blend primarily composed of Grenache, complemented by Syrah and Mourvèdre grapes, reflecting the traditional varietal composition of the region.

Production

The grapes are hand-harvested from old vines planted on quartz-rich soils, which impart a distinctive minerality. Fermentation occurs in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks, followed by aging in a combination of concrete vats and oak barrels to balance freshness and complexity.

Tasting notes

  • Appearance: Deep ruby red color with purple hues.
  • Aroma: Intense and complex nose featuring ripe red fruits, spices, and subtle floral notes with a mineral undertone.
  • Palate: Full-bodied and well-structured with smooth tannins, flavors of black cherry, raspberry, and hints of pepper and earthiness.
  • Finish: Long and persistent with a refined mineral finish.

Food pairings

  • Grilled red meats such as lamb or beef.
  • Hearty stews and casseroles.
  • Game dishes including venison or wild boar.
  • Mature cheeses like aged Gouda or Comté.
  • Rich Mediterranean dishes with herbs and spices.
