Châteauneuf du Pape - Gigognan “Régent” Rouge
Product Description
The grapes are all hand-harvested with very low yields (23 hl/ha), and are 100% de-stemmed. Fermentation takes place in temperature-controlled tanks with a 5 day maceration. The wine is then aged in combination of oak barriques and cement tanks where it rests a minimum of two winters. The wine is lightly filtered before bottling.

| Tasting note | The 2007 “Vigne du Regent” is a beautiful example of Châteauneuf du Pape. While rich, dark, and concentrated, the wine still maintains a beautiful balance. Aromas of cassis, cherry pie, and black pepper dominate the nose. In the mouth the wine is full of lush, dark fruit tempered slightly by soft ripe tannins. With 50% Syrah, this wine is a bit darker and more brooding than many Châteauneuf du Papes. |
