Wine Expert Note:

Pouring Clos du Caillou's Châteauneuf-du-Pape Les Safres reveals a deep ruby-red hue, leading to a captivating nose of red and black berries, garrigue, and a hint of black tea. The palate unveils a harmonious dance of ripe fruits, including cherries and blackcurrants, complemented by undertones of spices and herbs, all interwoven with silky tannins and a well-judged acidity. The finish is long and resonant, echoing with traces of fruit and subtle spicy notes. Paired beautifully with rich meat dishes or mature cheeses, Les Safres offers a sublime taste of the nuanced and varied landscapes of Châteauneuf-du-Pape.

Montirius Confidentiel Gigondas is an exceptional wine produced by Christine and Eric Saurel, who oversee the family-owned Montirius estate in the Gigondas appellation of France's Rhône Valley. This wine is crafted from a blend of 80% Grenache and 20% Mourvèdre, with vines averaging 85 years in age, including Grenache vines up to 90 years old. The grapes are sourced from a small 1-hectare parcel featuring diverse soils of garrigues, blue clay marl, and yellow sandstone, all within a Mediterranean climate. Hand-harvested and vinified traditionally in cement tanks, the wine undergoes total destemming, light crushing, and natural fermentation. It is aged for two winters in unlined cement tanks and bottled without added sulfites, on fruit or flower days according to the lunar calendar. The result is a pure, expressive Gigondas that captures the essence of its terroir, showcasing the Saurel family's dedication to biodynamic principles and minimal intervention winemaking.
