Chapelle St. Theodoric Description
Experience the exquisite 2020 Chapelle St. Theodoric Chateauneuf du Pape La Guigasse. This Grenache masterpiece, boasting a robust 15% alcohol content, offers a symphony of scents including rose petals, raspberries, and forest strawberries, intertwined with hints of dried herbs, mint, and white pepper. Its full-bodied, concentrated profile is elegantly balanced by plush tannins and lively acidity, culminating in a complex and lingering finish. Perfect for immediate enjoyment or aging up to 15 years, this wine is a true testament to finesse and elegance in the Southern Rhône tradition.

100% whole-cluster Grenache, it's much the same, but maybe a bit less floral and a bit more concentrated. Roses, herbal tea, blackberries and black cherries appear on the nose, while the full-bodied palate is supple and almost airy in feel yet with intense, lingering flavors. Just terrific stuff.

Scents of roses, garrigue and blackberries mark the nose of the 2020 Chateauneuf du Pape La Guigasse. It's one of those special wines that manages to be full-bodied and concentrated, yet also pillowy-soft, nearly ethereal in the mouth. It finishes long, with a lingering note of licorice.

The 2020 Châteauneuf Du Pape La Guigasse is cut from the same cloth, with a big, spicy bouquet of ripe black cherries, Asian spice, Provençal garrigue, and sappy flowers. It's rich, medium to full-bodied, has a great mid-palate, and a seamless texture. It's a big mouthful of classic Southern Rhône goodness that can be drunk today or cellared for 10-15 years. As with the Grand Pin, this is all non-destemmed Grenache that comes from the La Guigasse lieu-dit (also sandy soils) and is brought up all in used demi-muids.
