🏰 Domaine Giraud's Châteauneuf du Pape Grenache de Pierre 2023 is a remarkable wine, produced entirely from 【100% old vine Grenache, with some vines over a century old, organically farmed from sandy terroirs in La Crau and Pignan】. This unique cuvée is dedicated to Marie & Francois' father, Pierre, and is aged for 18 months in cement vats to preserve its exceptional purity of fruit. 【Experience an intoxicating fragrance of fresh strawberry compote, raspberries, cherries tinged with thyme, wild juniper, and violet, leading to a lusciously-textured palate of pure kirsch, sweet black berry confit, and a hint of chocolate mint.】 The wine presents a strong crimson color with purple reflections, offering delicate tobacco, dried herbs, sour cherries, liquorice, and candied orange zest. It is juicy, silky, and delicate, with ripe, velvety tannins, and a complex, mineral, and long-lasting finish. 🍴 This rich Grenache is an ideal pairing for lamb. Its complex profile also makes it suitable for other red meats, game, and hearty Mediterranean dishes. 🥂 With great aging potential, this wine is intoxicatingly fragrant even in its youth. It is recommended to drink from 2026-2042, making it a superb choice for collectors and those seeking a profound and long-lived Châteauneuf du Pape.
