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.

Silky-textured, with glossy red and black fruit. Gains shape from gently grippy tannins, while crushed iron details add savory dimension. This is flecked with tapenade and fresh black pepper. Grenache, Syrah and Mourvèdre. Best from 2025 through 2034. 550 cases made, 150 cases imported.
Winery
Grenache aged in concrete, Syrah and Mourvèdre aged in barrels. Aged for 18 months.

Region: Rhone Valley

There are few wine regions in the world with a history as long and illustrious as that of the Rhone Valley in France. For over two thousand years, wines have been produced in this region, benefited by the excellent, mineral-rich soils of the region, and the varied climate which allows a wide range of grape varietals to grow. The Rhone Valley is now split into two quite separate regions, with the north part being characterized by its cooler, continental climate and the limited number of grape varietals grown, and the southern sub-region being perfect for growing a wide range of grapes, and producing an exciting number of different wine styles. The Rhone Valley is associated with elegant, flavorful wines, and certain grape varietals such as Viognier and Syrah, which are adept at expressing the finer features of their terroir.
