Product notes

The estate: This historic Châteauneuf-du-Pape estate was mentioned in the municipal cadastre at the beginning of the 17th century. The Domaine de Nalys enjoys an exceptional location to the east of the appellation, in the middle of the vineyards, slightly in altitude, with a superb view of Mont Ventoux and the village of Châteauneuf-du-Pape. Saintes Pierres de Nalys is the estate's second wine. Soil and terroir: This wine comes from three exceptional terroirs: Nalys, Bois Sénéchal and La Crau. Average age of the vines: around 45 years.

Production notes

Manual harvest and sorting of the grapes. Vinification in thermo-regulated vats between 28 and 30 ° C. Fermentation takes around four weeks. Aging for eighteen months in stainless steel vats and casks (10%).

Tasting notes

Ruby red color, brilliant and deep. Elegant and open nose with notes of red fruits. Ample and supple tannins keeping a nice hold. Rich wine, balanced between richness and freshness. Goes well with an assortment of cold cuts, grilled red meats or in sauce, a matured cheese platter. Serve between 16 and 18 ° C.
