"ONE MASTERSHIP, THREE CUVEES"


La cuvée des générations
La cuvée "de la Gardine"

La cuvéedes générations



Made from the oldest plants and new barrels (only 3000 to 12000 bottles, depending on the vintage, to keep the quality of the "cuvee classique"),
this is a great wine with a full body and a wood/wine balance that is revealed after some years in bottle.
La cuvée classique


It accounts for the bulk of the production : it is a combination of vat wines and cask wines. Very fruity, with unobtrusive spicy tones, this is wine is seductive, while being very classic.
Balance obliterates the sometimes excessive warmth of Châteauneuf du Pape wines, with contours and freshness.
La cuvée "de la Gardine"

This second wine of the Château is made out of young plants or lots that may not bear the great label : a charming fruity wine with a greedy touch.



"ONE WINE, THREE HARMONIES"

Multiple types of wine are indispensable, although not mandatory, in Châteauneuf du Pape, as indicated in the expert's report prepared in 1929 when the Appellation d'Origine (wine of controlled origin) was first established. If only to achieve a perfect balance between strength and roundness, alcohol and acidity, warmth and sophistication, which make this wine unparalleled !

"ONE FAMILY, THREE PRECEPTS"

Our experience and opinion :

no 100 % Grenache Châteauneuf du Pape
no Châteauneuf du Pape without a wine blending during the wine making process
no Châteauneuf du Pape without cask maturing.
