All the colors of pepper and star-anise notes give this alternative “Chateauneuf” a very striking personality. A smoky note develops with aeration. Rich and concentrated, but with assertive tannins that brusquely push the wine over the palate. Still very young. Drinkable now, but best from 2024. ... More details

Friendly, forward style, with a mouth-filling core of crushed plum and boysenberry fruit laced with lavender and anise flavors. The juicy, open-knit finish has a nice savory edge. Grenache, Syrah, Mourvèdre, Carignano and Cinsault. Drink now. 1,000 cases made, 150 cases imported.
Winery
2015 was the first vintage of this new project that Julien made with his friend Yannick Alliaud. They found a very old-vine parcel located at 125 meters above sea-level in Chateauneuf-de-Gadagne, just east of Avignon. The soils are very similar to La Crau in Châteauneuf-du-Pape with layers of sand, clay, and the famous galets stones found in Châteauneuf. The Grenache vines were planted in the 1930's (about 55% of the blend) and the Mourvedre (12% of the blend) and Cinsault were planted just after WWII. The balance is Syrah, Cinsault, and Carignan. The vines are goblet-trained, which protects the fruit from the sun. A strict sorting ensured the best fruit from this already low-yielding parcel. The wine was made in the old gravity-fed cellar built in 1930, with cement tanks built into the floor. The wine spent four weeks on the skins with ripe whole clusters and then aged in old foudres and 600 liter demi-muids for 18 months. Bottled without fining or filtration.

Region: Rhone Valley

The Rhone Valley of southern France is a particularly fascinating wine region, with a history that stretches back to at least six hundred BCE, when the ancient Greeks first began cultivating vines there. The region itself is split into two distinct sub-regions, with the northern sub-region being famed for its production of exceptional Syrah, Marsanne, Roussane and Viognier wines, packed full of interesting character and expressing the terroir found there. The southern sub-region is home to an enormous variety of grapes, and produces red, white and rosé wines, and some of the world's most famous and adored blended wines. The continental climate of the region is ideal for growing grapes, and the winds which blow from the Central Massif help temper the heat in the vineyards, leading to very ripe fruits holding plenty of flavor.

With a wine making history which spans several thousand years and owes its expertise to the Romans, it comes as little surprise that this most highly esteemed of the Old World wine countries continues to impress and enchant both novices and experts to this day. Despite the rise in quality of wines from neighboring European countries, not to mention the New World, the French wine industry continues to boom, with up to eight billion bottles being produced in recent years. However, France prides itself on always putting quality before quantity, and the wide range in fine produce is a testament to the dedication and knowledge of the wineries across the country.
