Crafted from very old vines (60% Grenache, 40% Syrah) and grown on n a mix of sand and silt clay/limestone and quartz soils, this equally gulpable and special wine from the village of Serignan du Comtat shows concentrated dark black and red fruits, integrated tannin, and a lovely pop of balanced acidity so rare in wines of this primary delight. Pair with something braised, or a duck confit sandwich, or, perhaps, a good book and a quiet evening. Enjoy!

Details

From my importer: The Vacheron family behind Clos du Caillou acquired an old estate in Courthézon called Domaine de Panisse, which has existed for centuries and never been touched by chemicals, but since modern times has only sold their grapes to négociants. Located just below Beaucastel on the northern boundary of the appellation, the estate has 7 hectares that sits on the confluence of where the three major terroirs of the Châteauneuf all meet (galets roulés pudding stones, compacted clay, and pure sand). Planted to old massale Mourvèdre, Grenache, Syrah, and a little Cinsault, the vines have between 60-100 years of age.

Domaine de Panisse is organic and biodynamic, but since being farmed by Marilou Vacheron and her brother Axel in 2020, it is now in conversion to be certified as well.

Comprised of 60% Grenache Noir with 40% Syrah, in mainly clay soil, both cépages are de-stemmed before fermentation in wooden tanks, then racked into cement for aging. Despite its Côtes-du-Rhône status, it drinks well above its class, and I was totally charmed with this silky red that is completely balanced and elegant.
