Domaine Jerome Gradassi Chateauneuf du Pape
Domaine Jérôme Gradassi Châteauneuf-du-Pape is an outstanding expression of one of the Southern Rhône Valley's most prestigious appellations, crafted with passion and precision at Domaine Jérôme Gradassi. Châteauneuf-du-Pape, situated near Avignon in Provence, produces some of France's most celebrated and age-worthy red wines from a blend of up to 13 grape varieties on its characteristic large galets roulés (rounded stones) and sandy terroirs.
Deep ruby-garnet in color, this wine opens with a complex, seductive bouquet of ripe black cherry, wild plum, garrigue (Provençal herbs), lavender, leather, and warm spice. On the palate, it is full-bodied and sumptuously structured, with rich, velvety tannins, layers of dark fruit, earthy complexity, and a long, complex finish with classic southern Rhône character and depth.
Exceptional with braised lamb, wild boar, duck confit, Provençal herb-crusted meats, and aged Comté or Manchego cheese.
