Grand Veneur Chateauneuf-du-Pape "Les Origines"

Grand Veneur Chateauneuf-du-Pape "Les Origines"

Deep and brilliant, purple-red colour. An exciting nose with aromas of black fruit, blackcurrant and cherry; spices and vanilla. This great aromatic complexity is found on the palate: the spices and ripe fruit appear with an elegant woodiness and harmonious tannins. The finish has good aromatic length and introduces a touch of liquorice and peppers. A terrific Châteauneuf-du-Pape with great concentration and finesse.

The beautiful 2009 Grand Veneur Chateauneuf-du-Pape Les Origines is a blend of 50% Grenache, 30% Mourvedre and 20% Syrah aged in small barrels. It offers notes of graphite, camphor, blackberries, crème de cassis, Provencal herbs and lavender. It is nearly as good as the brilliant 2007. Full-bodied and rich with nicely integrated tannins, acidity and wood, the 2009 will benefit from several years of bottle age and should evolve for 20 or more years. 92 95 Points, Robert Parker

Domaine Grand Veneur is a family concern, with brothers Christophe and Sebastien gradually taking charge
of the estate under their father Alain’s guidance. Vines of up to 90 years of age grace their famous terroir in
Châteauneuf du Pape and all grapes are hand-picked and organically cultivated.

Cuvée ‘Les Origines’ is a single vineyard expression of the Domaine’s Châteauneuf du Pape terroir.
