Emeric's note

A big family dinner in December

Taste profile

The wine's soundboard.

Tall bars, big wine. Low bars, easy wine.

The story

Behind the bottle

Domaine Galevan makes Châteauneuf-du-Pape in both colours, in the southern Rhône.

Their red is Grenache (80%) and Mourvèdre (20%), fermented in concrete, aged 15 months in oak barrels, unfined and unfiltered.

A fine wine for bold dishes, with years behind it now.
