This is an absolute belter of a red from the immaculately kept vineyards of the Gonnet estate in the heart of the Rhône's Châteauneuf-du-Pape region. It brings together two of the region's stalwart varieties in equal measures - Grenache and Syrah - and once the fermentation has finished the blend is allowed to relax and settle in a mixture of concrete, old large oak and stainless steel vessels before being brought together and bottled. The resulting wine is densely fruited with notes of black cherries and blackberries, with an exceptionally long, balanced and complex finish.
