More information
In 1911, great grandfather of the current owner forsook his birthplace of Burgundy and headed south to the Rhône valley. There he bought his first vineyard. Today, Laurent Guillot is in charge, working the family plots both in Burgundy, as well as in the southern Rhône. For this voluptuous Rhône red, he combined two parcels of grapes. The Grenache is from vineyards between Orange and Avignon, close to Châteauneuf-du-Pape, the soils of which produce a powerful, full-bodied style. The Syrah is from clay-limestone soils on the right bank of the Rhône, lending a silkier, fresher-fruit note. Add in the excellent quality of the vintage and this red is deliciously moreish. Supple enough on its own, ideal at a barbecue and with hearty dishes.
