Grenache & Greatness

Grenache & Greatness: Journey Through Chateauneuf-du-Pape

Step into the legendary vineyards where Popes once roamed and river-rolled stones (galets roules) bask in the Provencal sun. Chateauneuf-du-Pape isn’t just a wine – it’s a testament to the art of blending, and one of France’s most compelling vinous expressions. Epitome of GSM – Grenache: the leading voice, bringing warmth, power, and red fruit generosity; Syrah: contributing pepper, dark fruits, and Northern Rhone finesse; and Mourvedre: adding structure, depth, and a savory bass note.

We’ll taste classic multi-varietal blends, seldom seen 100% Grenache and a rare Chateauneuf-du-Pape Blanc. This tasting might unravel the mysteries and majesty of Chateauneuf-du-Pape, one sample at a time.
