Winemaker Notes: 

"From a rare, one domaine, one wine estate, this classically styled Chateauneuf du Pape leaps from the glass with bold notes of black raspberry, boysenberry, candied flowers, cherry compote and violet pastille. Fresh garrigue spices liven up the palate, leading to a seamlessly smooth and textured finish." 

About the Producer: 

"At only eight hectares in size, this miniscule, ultra-traditional estate produces tiny quantities of just one wine: no luxury cuvée, no specialty blend, just a stunningly pure and complex Chateauneuf-du-Pape. Owner Claude Courtil is the godson of none other than Henri Bonneau, one of the most legendary and revered producers in the region, and he learned everything he knows about winemaking from his godfather. Henri and Claude share a deeply held commitment to natural winemaking: manual vineyard work, traditional aging in large foudres, and bottling without intrusive fining and filtration. With incredibly old vines that average 70 years old, this is truly a special domaine, and one that is extremely deserving of your attention."
