Description

Celebrate the 50th anniversary of the Gigondas appellation with this rare and exquisite cuvee, limited to 1,000 numbered bottles. This wine is a tribute to the legacy of Celine’s grandfather, who planted some of the oldest Syrah vines in Gigondas in 1966.

Only two parcels of his ancient Syrah and two of centenarian Grenache were hand-picked and fermented to create this masterpiece. This cuvee is aged exclusively in vats to preserve the freshness and purity of the fruit and the terroir. It is bottled without fining or filtering, so you can enjoy its authentic character and complexity. This wine will age gracefully for up to 8 years.

Made from a delicious expression of 90% Grenache and 10% Syrah. It seduces you with its enchanting aromas of Provencal herbs, red berries, pepper, and flowers. It delights you with its silky texture, elegant structure, and charming personality.

It is a perfect companion for your festive meals: prime rib of beef with parsley, roasted capon, lamb with Provencal herbs, duck breast, roast pigeon, omelette with porcini mushrooms or truffles, as well as mature hard cheese.

Don’t miss this opportunity to taste a piece of history and a work of art from one of the finest producers in Gigondas.

Domaine du Grapillon d'Or

The Domaine du Grapillon d'or was built in 1806 although the Chauvet family had been present in Gigondas, in the heart of Provence since 1630. Since that date, numerous developments have been carried out by successive generations. 30 years ago, Celine, the 9th generation, joined her father at the estate to take charge of the winemaking and management. The 14-hectare vineyard in Gigondas, which is mainly located on the hillsides, is mainly composed of Grenache and Syrah. 

Southern Rhone

The Southern Rhône, a renowned wine region in southeastern France, is celebrated for its diverse and robust wines. Benefiting from a Mediterranean climate with hot summers and mild winters, it is ideal for viticulture. The Southern Rhône is famous for its blends, particularly from Grenache, Syrah, and Mourvèdre, producing rich, full-bodied reds with complex flavours of dark fruit, spices, and herbs. Châteauneuf-du-Pape is the most prestigious appellation, known for its powerful and age-worthy wines. It also excels in producing aromatic whites and refreshing rosés. With its varied terroir and traditional winemaking techniques, the Southern Rhône offers a captivating wine experience for enthusiasts seeking high-quality and flavourful wines.
