Based on 100% Grenache from the sandy soils of the La Guigasse lieu-dit and aged 24 months in 500-liter barrels, it's medium to full-bodied and has a broad, layered mouthfeel, velvety tannins, and a great finish. With roughly 400 cases produced, this beauty will drink well over the coming decade. Drink 2025-2035.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e95pts Vinous\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSeductive and pronounced blood orange, grapefruit, rosewater, ripe raspberry, wild strawberry and herbal nuances launch the perfumed 2023 Châteauneuf-du-Pape La Guigasse. Constructed around smooth tannins, the medium- to full-bodied 2023 is stunningly fresh and ends with remarkable length on the focused finale. I can’t wait to taste it from bottle.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout the Winery\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eChapelle St. Theodoric is a project between winemaker Baptiste Grangeon and Peter Weygandt. this cuvee from a parcel at the top of Pignan, literally adjoining the vines of Château Rayas, (which starts around $600-$1000 a bottle!)  in pure sand and also pure, old vines Grenache. The vinification is traditional, that is to say, whole-cluster, such as employed by Jacques Reynaud at Château Rayas, Laurent Charvin, Henri Bonneau.  The Grand Pin, perhaps because the sand is nearly pure white, perhaps the higher elevation or due to some other factor we have not yet determined, makes a wine that is lower in alcohol, more perfumed and finer. This is one of the purest expression possible of grenache, very much reminiscent of Rayas, without the price tag.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"XXI","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67920420274540,"sku":null,"price":79.97,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2424\/3053\/files\/saint-theodoric-la-guigasse-chateauneuf-du-pape-2023-750ml-810686.jpg?v=1793141414","url":"https:\/\/redneckwinecompany.com\/products\/saint-theodoric-la-guigasse-chateauneuf-du-pape-2023-750ml","provider":"Redneck Wine Company","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
