2006 Châteauneuf du Pape Les Gallimardes, Giraud
Ref: GIRA061
Pierre and Mireille Giraud were distillers by trade, but in the mid-1970s they made the move into grape production, renting 4 hectares of vineyards for the purpose. In 1998, they bottled their first wine: a cuvée of Les Gallimardes. The estate is now run by Pierre and Mireille Giraud's children Marie and Francois. The estate now runs 17 hectares of vineyards in Châteauneuf-du-Pape split between more than 60 parcels.

Tasting Notes
"The biggest, most unctuous and sexy of the three cuvées from this first estate, the 2006 Chateauneuf du Pape Les Gallimardes is 90% Grenache and 10% Syrah, all from the Gallimardes lieu-dit located in the southern part of the appellation. It reveals a healthy ruby color as well as classic, Provencal notes of dried herbs, sweet black cherries, black licorice and crushed rock. Big, full-bodied, beautifully textured and mouth-filling, count me a fan. I’d happily drink this beauty anytime over the coming decade." Jeb Dunnock
