Châteauneuf La Guigasse, Chap St. Theo - 2021

Item # 25974 750mL

A tiny property in the Southern Rhône produces this big wine. Brash, powdery dark fruit abounds in this Grenache-based red. From 50- to 100-year-old wines grown in sandy soils, this is an artisanal wine that calls to mind other Châteauneuf greats, such as Rayas and Charvin. Serve with braised, herb-infused meats.

Rhône

Prestige in the north, value in the south: that’s the quick version of the Rhône story. Southern village appellations produce a dizzying stylistic range of delicious wines, while the prices for northern “trophy” bottles can be dizzyingly high.
