Domaine Gassier Châteauneuf-du-Pape, 2022

Winemaker Notes

This renowned appellation produces wines of
power and depth. The variety of soils and microclimates allow for a great diversity of style.
Favoring sandy soils with cooler exposures our
blend of Grenache and Syrah spiced with a splash
of Mourvèdre and aged in demi-muids delivers
incredible purity and freshness while keeping a
hedonistic signature.
