Etienne Pécoul
Red wine - 100% Grenache
Typical grenache garnet coloring with bluish tinge.
Powerful nose of flower, ripe strawberry, cherry, fig and cassis liquor.
The red wines are to be tasted with red meats, game or with a good cheese. A multitude of flowery flavors as well as wild fruits, mostly blackcurrant can be discovered in our wines. In a good wine cellar, our Chateauneuf-du-Pape can be kept for 12 to 15 years and possibly 20 yrs for those of the exceptional years.
The white is to be drunk young (2-3 yr). To be drunk during apéritif, alone or with blackcurrant liquor, with fish or as a dessert wine. Dry but mellow as a result of its 13° alchhol content, the white Chateauneuf-du-Pape can be drunk with foie gras.
Do not forget to serve the reds at room temperature ( 18°-19°) and the whites cool but not iced (14°) in order to preserve all of their aromas.
Symphonie of 13 grape varieties: The wine, Chateauneuf-du-Pape is the expression of the power of a symphonie. With each mouthful appear the most beautiful sonorities. Grenache, Syrah, Mourvèdre, 3 grape varieties in "major" from which this wine draws its power and mellowness, its color and its solidness.
Then exists as well the unusual notes; new harmonies which will appear with the other grape varieties... Just like tonalities in minor exhaling minute nuances, it renders a perfect harmony through light and subtile touches...
The rythms accelerate, revealing more intense bouquets, pleasure rolls with plentitude.
Like symphonies that leave the ear with imprints of their supreme richness, the symphony of the 13 grape varieties gives birth to an unshared passion for an exceptional wine: Chateauneuf-du-Pape.
