Deeper. richer. more concentrated. and shockingly good. Giraud’s 2010 Chateauneuf du Pape Cuvee Les Gallimardes is an incredible expression of Grenache from the southern part of the appellation. Loaded with ripe black raspberry. cassis. licorice. roasted herbs and crushed rock-like characteristic. it has awesome richness. thrilling purity and sweet tannin that emerges on the finish. A stunning success that should not be missed. it will drink well for 15-20 years.
