Notes:
18 ha. with 85% de Grenache, 5% Mourvèdre, 3% Syrah and 10 other allowed grape varieties. It's aged for about 18 months in foudres. The average age of the vines is 65 years.

Soft and lush with zero typicity of Chateauneuf-du-Pape. A nice wine, but at $33 I'm sure you can find better Rhone to reflect the true style of wine from that region.
