Why You'll Love It
A beautifully balanced Châteauneuf with juicy cherry and blackberry fruit, wild herb notes and a distinctly savoury finish. Generous without being heavy, it rewards a little air and is superb with slow-cooked lamb, duck or game.
About The Producer
Guillaume Gonnet grew up in a Rhône winemaking family before working in vineyards abroad, returning to Châteauneuf-du-Pape with his Australian wife Kelly. Together they bring an open-minded, low-intervention outlook to the family's old Grenache-led vineyards, seeking wines that express the varied soils of the southern Rhône rather than sheer power.
Winemaking Information
Hand-picked fruit from old vines on the Croix du Bois site, rooted in rounded stones, sand, clay and limestone. The 2023 technical specification lists a blend of Grenache and Syrah. Fermentation is followed by maturation in concrete, wooden and stainless-steel vats with a smaller proportion in large demi-muid barrels, giving depth without overwhelming the fruit.
