Domaine la Bastide Saint Dominique Chateauneuf du Pape Secrets de Pignan 2015  - First Bottle

Reviews

95 Jeb Dunnuck -
While I wasn't able to taste the traditional cuvee, the 2015 Chateauneuf-du-Pape Secrets de Pignan certainly delivers the goods. Coming from the Pignan lieu-dit, located in the center of the appellation, just beside Rayas, destemmed and aged all in stainless steel, it offers a beautiful, singular style in its blackberry, currant, leafy herbs, thyme, and olive scented bouquet. This carries to a full-bodied, sexy Grenache that has loads of fruit, terrific purity and a blockbuster finish. Drink this sensational 2015 anytime over the coming 10-15 years.

Too late, we are SOLD OUT!
We first tasted this wine in the village of Avignon (near Chateauneuf) from a sommelier who recommended it. For our palates, this one just kills it. From the sandy soils of the Pignan lieu-dit (sand is good, we like sand) near the mythical Chateau Rayas, this wine has a fabulous Burgundian feel to it (thanks, sand!) while flowing out waves of deep blue flavors. So awesome. 

About the Producer

Located at the heart of the Southern Rhone Valley, a stone's throw away from Chteauneuf du Pape, La Bastide Saint Dominique estate enjoys optimal climate with the unique Mistral wind and very hot and dry summers. Built around a former 16th century chapel, the estate was created by Marie-Claude and Gerard Bonnet with only a handful of hectares. With strong commitment and passion, the Bonnets have expanded the estate to a total area of 50 hectares. Since 1999, their son Eric has been working with them and the wines are truly better than ever.
