Description

"An alluring red, with impressive fruit purity to the sweet cherry, red licorice and cassis flavors supported by a spine of iron and superfine tannins. Beautifully textured and juicy, with a backdrop of charred garrigue and smoked apple wood flavors that linger through the
long finish. Grenache and Syrah. Drink now through 2032." 5,000 cases made, Kristen Bieler, Sénior Editor Wine Specator

"60% Grenache, 40% Syrah. Tank sample.
Attractive dark-fruit nose with a hint of spice. Layered fruit on the palate, the tannins well integrated leaving an almost plush texture. Then firmness and length on the finish. Impressive. Drink 2023 - 2035."

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.
