The Wine The Wine
France
Region:Rhône - Châteauneuf-du-Pape
This is something unique and a true one-off, which is pretty insane, coming from a region as historic and illustrious as Châteauneuf-du-Pape! It is crafted from 100% cinsault from 100-year-old vines and is the only pure Cinsault produced in the whole of the region. A dark concentrated style of Cinsault, however it still possesses plenty of classic jammy fruit and wonderful easy-going nature. A wine that fully wows the senses and should be decanted so that is shows at its best.

"For a number of years, I wanted to bottle this parcel of vines on its own rather than lose it within the wider Châteauneuf blend, without barely a mention. It is a powerful version of this variety with lots of dark ripe fruit character and some serious intensity." - Guillaume Gonnet, Winemaker.
