The “domaine†saw the light of day thanks to Pierre and Mireille Giraud’s zeal and two families coming together. The story begins in 1974 when Pierre and Mireille as their parents did before them took on 4 hectares (10 acres) of vines. Little by little the Domaine has grown through years exclusively on the appellation. In 1998 Pierre was ready to pass on his love of the vine and wine to his children. Marie and François took on the estate hand-in-hand. Under their parents’ watchful eye they devoted themselves to tending vines and winemaking. They focused their efforts on selecting parcel by parcel doing minimal treatments upgrading their cellar to make finer and finer wines while respecting family traditions."
Jeff Leve, The Wine Cellar Insider: 97 Points
Incredibly silky, elegant, and fresh, the wine exudes its floral character with ease. The soft, pure red fruits on the palate and in the refined finish seal the deal. This beauty was produced from 100% old vine Grenache .
Wine Advocate: 96 Points
rom centenarian Grenache vines grown on sandy soils in La Crau and Pignan the 2018 Chateauneuf du Pape Grenaches de Pierre is a perfumed beauty redolent with hints of fennel roses orange zest and ripe cherries. Matured solely in concrete there's no oak influence just a purity of fruit expression borne on a full-bodied but nearly weightless palate. Silky and long on the finish this tour de force should still be drinking well in a decade.
