Speciale due to its 100% whole bunch vinification, this comes from 70 year-old vines planted on the border of the Chateauneuf appellation, towards Courthezon. It is a blend of 95% Grenache and 5% “others”, referring to the old centre of this vineyard which is planted with assorted varieties, long since forgotten.
"Spéciale' due to its whole bunch vinification, where whole grape clusters are pressed. An old vine Châteauneuf and a masterclass in sensitive Grenache.
