The grapes had gone to the local cooperative; in 2005 he founded Domaine de la Graveirette and began making his own wines.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHe farms biodynamically around Bédarrides and Courthézon. The parcels include sandy ground, alluvial soils and stony terraces. Alongside Rhône appellation wines, his Vin de France bottlings make room for varieties such as Merlot, Marselan and Viognier.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOrigin\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDomaine de la Graveirette works around Bédarrides and Courthézon, in the southern Rhône. Its Châteauneuf-du-Pape parcels sit within a landscape of sandy clay and rounded stones, where vineyard position and soil give Julien different material to work with.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis is warm Mediterranean country, and Grenache takes the leading role in the 2020 blend. Julien’s biodynamic farming connects these appellation wines with the same estate work behind his more playful Vin de France bottlings.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWine\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eChâteauneuf-du-Pape Rouge 2020 brings together 90% Grenache and 10% Syrah. The blend gives a generous southern expression, with Syrah adding another dimension to the Grenache-led fruit.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThirty months in stainless steel allow the wine to settle without an oak-led flavour. Open it with time to spare and serve with roast lamb, aubergines or slow-cooked dishes, letting the wine find its pace at the table.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Domaine de la Graveirette","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":59295201460598,"sku":"GR3820RA","price":58.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0252\/2556\/0124\/files\/WF-cndp-label-lighting-nov10.png?v=1794310760","url":"https:\/\/winefreedom.co.uk\/products\/chateauneuf-du-pape-rouge-2020","provider":"Wine Freedom","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
