This particular cuvée is a heartfelt tribute to the grandfather, crafted from some of the oldest Plan de Dieu parcels, with some vines predating World War I. It is known for its rare suppleness and velvety touch, alongside well-concentrated black fruit flavors. While specific detailed reviews for the 2023 vintage are still emerging, the heritage of old vines typically contributes to wines of great depth and character. Tasting notes generally suggest a Southern Rhône Red profile, with potential hints of oak, chocolate, tobacco, and prominent black fruit notes like blackberry and blackcurrant, possibly complemented by red fruits such as cherry and raspberry. Spice notes like pepper, bay leaf, and licorice, along with earthy undertones of graphite and mushroom, could also be present. 【 A tribute to the grandfather, crafted from ancient Plan de Dieu parcels, offering rare suppleness and concentrated black fruits 】 🍴 Food Pairing: This robust Southern Rhône red is an excellent match for hearty dishes.
