Châteauneuf du Pape: Domaine du Père Caboche - Elisabeth Chambellan 2010

‘The old-vine cuvée has a darker ruby/purple color and offers a gorgeous concoction of lush black cherries, raspberries, and loamy soil notes with some Provencal herbs and licorice. It is full-bodied, fleshy, and totally seductive and voluptuous. Drink it over the next 7-8 years.’

Châteauneuf du Pape: Domaine du Père Caboche - Elisabeth Chambellan 2010

‘Elisabeth Chambellan’ is the senior, flagship cuvée - it hails from a parcel of 100 year-old vines grown on La Crau plateau. It is from an almost identical blend of grapes to 'Domaine du Père Caboche' principal bottling, but is denser and darker and more structured and age-worthy. It carries the house signature of lashings of ripe red fruit that makes it hard to resist drinking from the time of bottling.

Style: Red Wine, Dry (Sec), Full-bodied
Region: Rhone, Chateauneuf du Pape
Producer: Jean-Pierre & Emilie Boisson
Vintage: 2010

Vinification: The grapes are hand harvested from 80-100 year-old vines and put in particularly shallow buckets to protect the fruit from being crushed prematurely. The Syrah and Cinsault remain uncrushed while the other varieties are lightly crushed prior to fermentation. The grapes are then fermented in large thermo-regulated stainless steel vats for 21 days prior to being matured in traditional old wooden tonneau.
Alcohol by Volume (ABV): 15%
