B&G CHATEAUNEUF-DU PAPE RED WINE 750ML

Châteauneuf-du-Pape is the wine of all important occasions. The hillsides lie between Orange and Avignon gracing the finest landscapes of Provence. The soils are particularly photogenic, a sea of pebbles from which emerge gnarled vine stock. There are three types of terroir: rolled pebbles, gravely soils and sandy soils. The appellation’s different terroirs are called “quarters” by local wine-growers, and very often vine from all three are used to shape this wine. The appellation enjoys a unique micro-climate, as the sun’s heat is stored during the day by pebbles which then returns this warmth at night. This day-night process helps to ensure excellent maturity of grapes.

TASTING NOTES
Firm attack, slightly spirit, well rounded and elegant. A good intense and lasting aromatic expression. The overall effect is well structured, fleshy and harmonious; characterised by the Grenache for its warm notes and the ending with well established tannins.

FOOD PAIRINGS
The ideal accompaniment for a roasted leg of lamb or veal and duck recipes.
