Chapelle Saint Theodoric, Le Grand Pin Châteneuf-du-Pape, Rhône, 2015
Chapelle Saint Theodoric focuses exclusively on Grenache, working with old vines planted in the pale, sandy soils of the Pignan sector, one of the more understated and elegant corners of Châteauneuf-du-Pape. The domaine ferments with whole clusters and keeps the cellar work traditional, allowing the character of these sites to emerge. In 2015, the warm season brought generous fruit, yet the wine still carries the finesse that defines this cuvée.
The wine shows red cherry, raspberry, and rose on the nose, along with subtle spice and a touch of dried herbs. The palate is smooth and detailed, with fresh acidity, gentle tannins, and a long finish that reflects the light, sandy soils. It’s a refined, expressive Châteauneuf-du-Pape that highlights the grace of Grenache grown in this unique part of the appellation.
Varietal: Grenache
Appellation: Châteauneuf-du-Pape, Rhône, France
Farming: Organic-leaning, hand-harvested
Style: Red. Silky, aromatic, and refined
