There are 14 units left in stock.
ABOUT THE WINE
The 2021 La Guigasse is a single-parcel Châteauneuf-du-Pape made from 100% Grenache grown in the sandy soils of the La Guigasse lieu-dit, near Pignan. The wine is crafted with a traditional whole-cluster fermentation using native yeasts, then aged for approximately 24 months in older demi-muids and large neutral oak casks.
Fragrant and finely detailed, it opens with cherry and raspberry alongside garrigue, pepper, spice and subtle smoky, savory notes. The palate is concentrated yet fresh, with lively acidity, fine-grained tannins and a long, graceful finish. Enjoy with herb-roasted lamb, braised meats, game or other richly flavored dishes.
ABOUT THE PRODUCER
Chapelle Saint Théodoric is a small Châteauneuf-du-Pape project created by winemaker Baptiste Grangeon in collaboration with importer Peter Weygandt. The domaine focuses on two distinctive sandy-soil sites, La Guigasse and Le Grand Pin, which are vinified and bottled separately to express the character of each parcel. Its restrained, traditional approach emphasizes old-vine Grenache, whole-cluster fermentation and gentle élevage in large, seasoned oak.
