ESTATE PRICE! This cuvée, made from roussanne (32%), marsanne (24%), viognier (24%) and grenache blanc (20%), is stirred in its vat every week for five months to refine aromas and texture. Fresh and lively on the palate, with zesty lemon notes and a hint of herbs. The finish is balanced and elegant, with a balance between tension and volume.
ESTATE PRICE! The classic cuvée is the 2021 Châteauneuf Du Pape Blanc, which is based on 43% Roussanne, 30% Clairette, 25% Grenache Blanc, and 2% Bourboulenc. It's brilliant stuff, offering lots of bright lemon and pineapple-like fruits as well as white flowers, honeysuckle, and a kiss of chalky minerality. Beautiful on the palate as well, it's medium...
ESTATE PRICE! All whole-cluster fruit from a single parcel of old Grenache, the 2017 Chateauneuf du Pape les Clavelles boasts fascinating notes of cedar, due to its élevage in small oak, ripe cherries and strawberries, resinous herbs and dried spices.

ESTATE PRICE! Close to an even split of Grenache, Syrah, and Mourvèdre, the 2019 Châteauneuf Du Pape has a perfumed, beautifully elegant, and medium-bodied style that carries lots of cherry and fresh plum fruits as well as peppery spice and floral notes. The balance is spot on, as is the purity of fruit.
ESTATE PRICE! The Pigeonnier is an exceptional red wine that highlights the Carignan grape variety. Beware, once you taste it, you won't be able to live without it! La Terrasse d'Elise has created an exemplary Carignan in Le Pigeonnier, which skillfully blends spices, black fruits and garrigue scents, a real success for Xavier Braujou.
ESTATE PRICE! The color of this wine is intense purple, and the nose offers aromas of blackcurrant and blueberry with hints of sweet spices, very characteristic of Syrah. The palate is fleshy, dynamic and vibrant, with crunchy nutty flavors and silky tannins. The finish is very fresh with notes of eucalyptus leaves. This is a very pretty wine that will...
ESTATE PRICE! Cuvée Élise is still one of the great wines of the sector and still very skilfully sculpted by a 24 month ageing in barrels and five long years in bottles.

ESTATE PRICE! New wine of the domain in 100% Niellucio, aged 2 years in barrels. PMG means "Pour Ma Gueule", but despite its funny name, it is one of the most prestigious wines of the domain!
ESTATE PRICE! Another magnificent Cinsault... Decidedly, Xavier Braujou excels with this grape variety that is sometimes rightly called the Pinot Noir of Languedoc... A very floral wine, delicious !
Dark and solidly built, with a stylish mix of cassis, blackberry and damson plum all edged in graphite. Savory acidity courses throughout, and black pepper, tar and smoke make this more savory than sweet; still-tight tannins will soften with time. Mourvèdre, Grenache, Syrah, Cinsault and Clairette. 180 cases made
And lastly, the 2019 Châteauneuf Du Pape La Bessade is a more Grenache-dominated wine offering medium to full-bodied aromas and flavors of ripe cherries, strawberries, Provençal garrigue, and peppery spice. Fermented with 20% stems, it has silky, polished tannins, wonderful balance, and a great finish. Drink this fabulous 2019 over the coming 10-15 years.
ESTATE PRICE!The 2021 Châteauneuf-du-Pape Blanc gives up clean, crisp notes of citrus blossom, lime and pear, medium-bodied richness, vibrant acidity and an impeccably balanced style on the palate. Possessing both freshness and richness, it will be versatile on the dinner table over the coming 2-4 years, and I suspect even longer.
The Saint-Péray from this family is always terrific, and the 2021 Saint-Péray is no exception. Bright citrus, sappy herbs, and some salty minerality all define this medium-bodied, balanced, elegant beauty. Drink bottles over the coming 2-4 years.
