In a few words ...
"Composed of 75% Grenache, 15% Syrah and 10% Mourvèdre, from the "Terre Ferme" vineyard in Bédarrides. Aged in demi-muid and foudre, it offers seductive aromas of marzipan and spices" (Wine Advocate). This Châteauneuf du Pape reveals all the excellence of its terroir through its great complexity in a vintage of anthology.
Lots of purity and length.

Appellation
Châteauneuf-du-Pape
The appellation Châteauneuf-du-Pape is part of the region of Vallée du Rhône from France which include Maison François-Xavier Nicolas and its 16 cuvées. Spread over The Rhone Valley and its rich, complex terroirs. The region is divided into two distinct subregions: Northern Rhone (known as Rhône Septentrional) and Southern Rhone (Rhône Méridional). In the former we find strong wines in beautiful colours with warm, spicy notes, produced by vineyards that stretch 4,700 ha along the Rhone. The latter, with an area of 71,000 ha, is much more important, and this is evident of course in its annual production of red, rosé and white wines quite unlike those of the Northern Rhone., this region is 3 million hectolitres per year of red wines, rosés, dry and sparkling white wines, and natural sweet wine..
