🌟 A classic, full-bodied Rhône blend bursting with old-vine character and southern soul.

👁 In the Glass:
Deep garnet-red with ruby highlights — rich, concentrated and vibrant.

👃 On the Nose:
Beautifully expressive with dark cherries, blackberries, and stewed plums, wrapped in a warm embrace of garrigue herbs, leather, peppercorn, and a touch of smoky mineral earthiness. A hint of liquorice and cocoa completes the aromatic tapestry.

👅 On the Palate:
Bold yet refined, with silky tannins and dense black fruit at its core. The Grenache brings supple, juicy richness, Syrah adds spicy depth and structure, while Mourvèdre provides a savoury edge and ageing potential. The finish is long, layered, and generously spiced, with notes of dried herbs, black olives, and toasted wood.

🍽️ Food Pairing:
Perfect with roast lamb, duck with cherry sauce, herbed sausages, or mature cheeses like aged Comté or Pecorino.

✨ Why You’ll Love It:
'Les Pierres' captures the essence of Châteauneuf-du-Pape terroir — a powerful yet elegant wine crafted from old vines growing in the region's famous galets roulés (rounded stones). It's a soulful red that’s equally impressive now or after a few years in the cellar.
