Rhone Red Blends from Chateauneuf-du-Pape, Rhone, France

Winemaker Notes

This cuvee comes entirely from the Les Serres parcel and is primarily the fruit that used to make up the “Favier” and “Giraud” wines. 100% whole cluster made mostly in demi-muids; some amphora and glass demi-johns are also used.

James Suckling – 97 Points

Even within the context of the excellent 2020 vintage in Chateauneuf this is a really stunning wine. Incredible concentration of spiced plum cake with stacks of candied citrus and dried herb aromas. Giant tannin structure but this is so plush and refined, it sweeps you off your feet and carries you in its arms through the super-long finish.

Food Pairing 

Pairs well with Asian cuisine, mushrooms, pasta, cheese, eggplant, tomatoes, and hearty fish courses like tuna.
