Description

65% Grenache, 25% Syrah, 5% Muscardin, 5% (Mourvèdre, Cinsault, Vaccarese, Terret Noir)

Since their very first vintage bottled under the Guigal name, in 1946, the Guigal family has produced a Chateauneuf-du-Pape. Nalys is comprised of three spectacular plots within three of the best vineyards in the appellation: the famous “La Crau”, Le Grand Pierre, and “Bois Sénéchal”.

Brilliant violet. Intensely perfumed black raspberry and cherry aromas are complemented by suggestions of candied flowers and baking spices. Stains the palate with juicy, spice-laced red and blue fruit preserve flavors that are lifted and sharpened by a smoky mineral element. At once lively and concentrated, finishing very long and spicy, with supple tannins and lingering florality. 15.5% ABV
