Jean XXII Châteauneuf-du-Pape
€25.00
A blend of 60% Grenache,30% Syrah and just 10% Mouvedre. Chateau Fargueirol Chateauneuf du Pape is a vibrant and spicy Rhone red wine.
Elegance and class are the name of the game, with an incredible aromatic profile of ripe black cherry and peppery garrigue in a nicely balanced, structured body, wrapped in silky seductive tannins.
The appellation area is located on the left bank of the Rhône, between Orange and Avignon, in Châteauneuf du Pape. This vintage is produced on plots located on the hillsides of places called “Les Grandes Gallières and le Tresquoy”.
The vines planted between 1980 and 1985 are located mainly on limestone soils with white pebbles from the Urgonian, essential for obtaining a beautiful minerality as well as brown soils and safres, for finesse and elegance.
GRAPES:
80% Grenache, 20% Syrah
CLIMATE
Mediterranean type with particularly hot summers. The mistral drives away humidity, thus ensuring very favorable conditions for growing vines.
