Supple and elegant, with a layered, velvety texture and Morello cherry lingering on the finish — 60% Grenache, 25% Syrah, 15% Mourvèdre.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eThe producer\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWine has been made on this estate since 1264, when the family arrived from Italy to serve the pope at Avignon — the three hats on the label are two bishops and a pope among their forebears. Florent Lançon now runs the 38-hectare domaine, certified organic and Terra Vitis, and pairs tradition with tulip-shaped concrete vats first designed for Cheval Blanc. The Grenache comes from the best old-vine parcels on the high alluvial terraces around the estate, where rounded quartzite galets store the day's heat and release it overnight. Each variety is hand-picked at full ripeness into small crates, double-sorted and moved by gravity into concrete for a long, gentle maceration; around 65% was then aged 20 months in barrels and demi-muids, the rest in concrete, and bottled unfined and unfiltered.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFood and drinking\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGood with poultry and pork, red meat and cheese.
