From a vineyard ringed with ancient oak forests (like Rayas) on the Plateau des Brusquières. Old Vine 90% Grenache, 9% Mourvèdre, 1% Counoise. Aged In recent casks (foudres) and terracotta jars for 18 months.
Marked by aromas of resinous herbs, roses and raspberries, the 2018 Chateauneuf du Pape Le Pied de Baud is an enthralling blend of 80% Grenache, 15% Mourvèdre and 5% Cinsault from the Le Pied de Baud lieu-dit, in the south of the appellation. Raspberries, strawberries and redcurrants all make appearances, supported by crisp acids and silky, just-ripe tannins. Young Benjamin Gras is looking for tension in his wines, and this wine captures that elusive quality, lingering tautly on the mouthwatering finish. Drink: 2021-2035
