Clos du Calvaire Chateauneuf du Pape Père Pape red 2023

Père Pape comes from old Grenache vines averaging 70 years of age, planted in the northern sector of the appellation on the lieux-dits Bédines, Boisdauphin and La Crau. This combination of sandy soils, clay and rolled pebbles brings remarkable aromatic precision and a silky texture. The grapes are hand-harvested, sorted in the vineyard and again at the winery, then vinified in concrete tanks with indigenous yeasts. A 24-month aging in large foudres and amphora gives depth, purity and balance, without any noticeable oak influence. This is a refined, bright and precise Châteauneuf-du-Pape that highlights the true expression of Grenache.
