Les Garrigues is a 2.5 hectare plot of 100 year old Grenache vines located in the village of Courthézon and just outside the boundary of Châteauneuf-du-Pape. The soils here are a fine, pebbly, red clay covered with gnarled, mistral-blown vines. In terms of terroir is is more classically Châteauneuf than Côtes-du-Rhône and the Garrigues is made in a similar fashion as the estates Châteauneufs – 25% wholce cluster fermentation in oak vats, a 21 day maceration and daily, manual pigeage followed by aging in foudre.
