Saint Theodoric 2022: La Guigasse and Le Grand Pin
Estate presentation
Chapelle Saint Théodoric is an atypical estate, the fruit of a unique collaboration between Domaine de Cristia and American importer Peter Weygand. Covering 3 hectares in the Châteauneuf-du-Pape PDO, the “Le Grand Pin” cuvée comes from the “Pignan” locality immediately adjacent to Rayas and Cristia, while the “La Guigasse” cuvée is produced from a parcel of the same name located 200 meters to the north, still in the eastern part of the appellation. The terroirs are mainly fine sand for Le Grand Pin and clay and sand for La Guigasse. These two wines, with their atypical styles for the appellation, are vinified exclusively from whole grapes. The first harvest dates back to the 2009 vintage, and these two cuvées, which were initially confidential, have gone from strength to strength, despite limited production (around 2,000 bottles/year for each cuvée).
Clos Du Calvaire 2022 : All available wines
Estate presentation
Situated on the outskirts of the prestigious village of Châteauneuf-du-Pape, this family-run estate has been handed down through the generations, historically by the Mayard and then Roumieux families. Founded in 1923, the Clos du Calvaire has now given way to new generations. Sharing and know-how are passed on and renewed, and the philosophy is resolutely focused on respect for living beings and the ecosystem in which the vines take root. All the plots are cultivated in organic farming with a focus on agro-ecology to enhance biodiversity and the sustainability of the Chateauneuf du Pape vineyard. Over the years, and thanks to the work of each generation of winemakers, their aim has always been to produce cuvées that reflect the authenticity of the grape varieties and the excellence of the terroirs of the Chateauneuf du Papeappellation.
