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).
