Guillaume Gonnet, Châteauneuf-du-Pape Rouge - CASE OF 6 BOTTLES

Biodynamic
Producer works organically
 
The energetic and charismatic Guillaume Gonnet is not your average Rhône winemaker.
Extremely open in his attitude, his curious, boundary-challenging approach extends far beyond wine. He has travelled to the far ends of the earth, revelling in the opportunity to surf some of the best waves in the world while learning his craft in various Australian and New Zealand regions. Returning to the Rhône with his Australian wife Kelly, Guillaume has put similar energy into his family estate and his new-found enthusiasm for Grenache-based wine.
 
The soils is made up of round pebbles on the surface, sand, clay and limestone. The vines are very old and average 50 to 90 years old and planted at a density of 3500 vines per HA, planted on a South East facing vineyard. All grapes are hand harvested.
 
A red and black fruit bouquet, of cherries and blackberries, a hint of garrigue, liquorice and spice. A fine wine. This wine will open up beautifully if de - cantered at least 1 hour before serving.
 
A very versatile food partner. Anything from game, red meats, coq au vin, parma ham, duck and spicy sausage.
