With a remarkable score of 96+ from Jeb Dunnuck, the Domaine Giraud Châteauneuf-du-Pape Les Grenaches de Pierre 2017 delivers a captivating expression of its terroir. This wine showcases the unique character of Grenache, offering a vibrant bouquet of ripe cherries, blackberries, and subtle herbal notes, all underpinned by a touch of garrigue that speaks to the sun-soaked soils of the Southern Rhône. On the palate, it’s a symphony of rich fruit and velvety tannins, leading to a long, graceful finish. Perfect for special occasions, this wine pairs beautifully with herb-crusted lamb or a rich ratatouille. A true gem, it delivers well beyond its peers, making it a smart buy for anyone looking to elevate their collection.
