Description
Chateauneuf Du Pape "La Paillousse", Domaine Pierre Amadieu, Southern Rhone, France, 2023
Grapes: A blend of 80% Grenache and 20% Syrah, sandy/clay soils with large flat pebbles, hand picked, aged for 12 months in oak foudres and barrels
Producer Tasting Note:
With a deep purple colour, it has delicate red fruit and fig aromas on the nose. On the palate enjoy its weight and the powerful yet smooth black fruit and liquorice flavours with notes of mint and 'garrigue' or wild herbs.
A ten year ageing potential will allow for the full development of this excellent Chateauneuf.
Domaine Pierre Amadieu has existed since 1929. It was on this date that the grandfather of the current family, owner, decided to sell the bottles from his 7 hectares of estate located in Gigondas. Today, the third generation has taken over: Henri-Claude, Pierre, Jean-Marie and Marie all work at the estate. The grapes are harvested by hand and long vatting is preferred: it takes time to create great wines.
Pair with a fricassee of wild mushrooms, or even with liquorice ice cream!
