Grape: 65% Grenache, 25% Syrah, 5% Muscardin, 5% others (Mourvèdre, Cinsault, Vaccarèse, Terret noir).
Soil type: This wine is produced from three exceptional terroirs: “Nalys” (33%) with red sandstone typical of the Comtat and Saffres, “Bois Sénéchal” (33%) and “La Crau” (34%), both constituted of ancient alluvial stones from the Rhone, the famous galets.
Produced from 3 exceptional terroirs (“La Crau”, le “Bois Sénéchal” and “Nalys”) the blend is dominated by Grenache (2/3) and Syrah (1/4.) Muscardin and a touch of Cinsault, Mourvèdre, Vaccarèse and Terret Noir add to its complexity. Aged in vats and foudres this is an elegant and punchy wine with seductive aromas of fresh fruits and sweet spices. The red Saintes Pierres de Nalys is a wonderful expression of a Châteauneuf-du-Pape with generous and ample tannins. Its subtle balance and aromatic purity mean that it can be enjoyed young, a blend of richness, freshness and length.
