Quintessence of a soul...
Imagine a corner of land filled with centu- ry-old vines and the purest, sandy soil... The resulting wine represents a striking homage to Châteauneuf-du-Pape and its most celebrated grape varietal, the Grenache. It embodies delicacy, an escape, a synthesis strawberries, cherries, liquorice with a hint of spices. It signifies the perfect balance between kindness and strength.
