The Wine The Wine
France
Region:Rhône - Châteauneuf-du-Pape
Most people would consider the 50–80 year vines that make this wines old vines, but to Francois and Marie this is just their entry-level Châteauneuf. After taking on the Domain from their parents they have been carving out a reputation for producing some of the most elegant and precise wines in this region. This wine is full-bodied, ripe, sexy and seamless. It has power and structure, with succulent ripe tannins and a wonderful intensity, but at the same time retains elegance and levity.
The Winemaker The Winemaker
Francois and Marie Giraud
Francois and Marie Giraud are a brother and sister team who are relative newcomers to winemaking in comparison to many of their neighbours. Their family have always lived in the Rhône, but were distillers rather than winemakers. It was their parents who got hold of some vines in 1974 and changed their family's trajectory, and in 1998 Francois and Marie took over the Domain. They focus on each plot in turn, creating some of Châteauneuf's most elegant and precise wines.
"This wine has an attractive red cherry colour with light purple tints, and displays nice kirsch and squashed plum aromas. It has a rounded, chunky mouth-feel, and is weighty with strawberry jam, raspberry and cooked cherry fruit, resulting in a lovely ripeness. To help retain these lively aromas and flavours our wines aren't filtered or fined." - Francois and Marie Giraud, Winemakers.
