Vinified in whole bunches, as at Rayas, the old Grenache, Cinsault and Syrah vines develop remarkable complexity. The bouquet evolves towards notes of stewed fruit, spices (pepper) and garrigue. The attack is round and enveloping, supported by fine tannins and a fine mineral structure. The persistence is pleasantly long, offering gourmet pleasure. Enjoy now, or wait for the more patient...

About the domain :

Located in the northern part of the Châteauneuf appellation, in the village of Courthezon, this estate, rich in old vines, has belonged to the Charrier family for three generations. The Cristia, Pointu and La Guigasse plots produce the red Châteauneuf-du-Pape, 99% Grenache, harvested whole and aged in concrete vats. Caroline is in charge of vinification, while her brother Frédéric looks after the vines. From IGP Vaucluse to Châteauneuf, the style of the wines is convincing.
