Critic tasting note: "Freshness and hints of violet, smoke and earth elevate this full-bodied, plump yet pristine Grenache. Blackberry and cherry flavors are ripe and mouthwatering, edged by sunny acidity and a thrilling crush of minerals. The forward, juicy demeanor is irresistible already but tightly wound tannins should meld and improve It should peak through 2030. Anna Lee C. Iijima" - 97/100, Wine Enthusiast

- Vineyard Notes

This cuvée comes from the cold and late terroirs of Chapouin (sand), La Janasse and La Crau (sand). The vines are grown without pesticides or insecticides and the manure is natural. The land is worked without weedkiller to maintain ventilation and flexibility of the soil.

- Vintage Notes
-
As autumn is drawing to a close and the wine presses have been washed and put away, the first wines tasted before being blended confirm what had been sensed: 2016 is going to be a fabulous vintage! And if some compare it to the magnificent 2010, some others do not hesitate to go as far as the famous star-vintage 1990… Either way, the evidence that we are witnessing the making of a great vintage is clear.

- Producer Tasting Notes
-
A beautiful bottle, archetype of the appellation, which expresses the quintessence of Grenache in its cradle of Châteauneuf du Pape. Between notes of black fruit and violets, this vintage advances in time with suppleness, with already melted tannins.

The winter was mild but morphed into an unusually cool spring, which made for a delayed budburst and flowering.
In the Northern Rhône, rain fell during May and early June raising the risk of mildew whic...
