Notes | |||
"The “Classic” has a distinctive floral component and is a pretty wine, at the same time, it captures the power and spice you expect from a classic Châteauneuf. The vines average 50 years-old and are grown in a sandy loam and clay soil." —winemaker |
Critical Acclaim | |||
"The effusive raspberry and redcurrant fruit is wrapped around the well-crafted core of powdery tannins, giving this Chateauneuf good energy and some drive. Moderate acidity for the vintage. With a bit of aeration wild herb aromas develop adding more interest. From organically grown grapes. Drink or hold." —James Suckling "The pale ruby-colored 2021 Châteauneuf-du-Pape is a blend of 85% Grenache and 15% Syrah. It opens with bright aromas of redcurrant, red cherry, raspberry, tomato leaf, white pepper, cedar and cloves. Full-bodied, refined and framed by ripe tannins, this 2021 is a well-structured effort from the Grangeon family." —Vinous |
