Traditional whole-cluster vinification, indigenous yeast fermentation and aged in various ages of demi-muids. Harvested late, well into October. Usually harvested a little later than Guigasse, but at the top of the Pignan hill, in very light sandy soil. Very low average yields of 15hL/ha. Purity, finesse and great aromatics are the hallmark of the Grand Pin, a Burgundian inspired Chateauneuf-du-Pape.

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
The 2018 Chateauneuf du Pape Le Grand Pin, tasted from barrel, explodes with floral and tea-like notes allied to red raspberries and strawberries. Full-bodied, but with an amazing lithe, delicate, silky structure, it looks to be another huge success for this pure Grenache cuvée.

Deep, vivid red. An expansive bouquet evokes ripe red fruit, potpourri, garrigue and smoky minerals, and an exotic spice quality builds in the glass. Shows impressive depth as well as energy, offering sappy raspberry, bitter cherry, botanical herb and spice cake flavors braced by a spine of juicy acidity. Finishes appealingly sweet, gently tannic and impressively long, leaving behind mineral, candied lavender and raspberry notes.
