This is a joint project between American importer Peter Weygandt and Baptiste Grangeon of Domaine du Cristia. All three parcels utilized for these wines are dominated by sandy soils\, and are biodynamically farmed. The intention is to showcase old vine Grenache grown in sandy soils\, bottle the wine without fining or filtration\, and age it in old small oak barrels\, or in the case of Le Grand Pin and La Guigasse\, in 600-liter demi-muids. Yields are frightfully low as they are trying to capture the essence of these sites. Yields for 2010 were 12-14 hectoliters per hectare\, and in 2011\, they were slightly higher\, but still very low for what was a generous crop. I am not sure if they made a 2011 Les Sablons\, but if they did\, it was not presented for tasting. While this estate’s track record is relatively brief\, the wines to date have been nothing short of brilliant. Last year I went ga-ga over the unbottled 2010s and now that they have been bottled\, that excitement is more than justified. -

From a legendary vintage, this wine delivers remarkable concentration with notes of dark berry, licorice, herbs, and mineral depth. Structured and refined, it balances power with elegance and length. A benchmark example of Grenache-driven Châteauneuf-du-Pape.

About The Producer

Chapelle Saint-Théodoric is a relatively young and highly distinctive Châteauneuf-du-Pape project that debuted with its first vintage in 2009, born from a partnership between respected American importer Peter Weygandt and winemaker Baptiste Grangeon of Domaine de Cristia. The domaine sources old-vine Grenache from two tiny, sandy terroirs in the Pignan and La Guigasse lieux-dits—soils that differ markedly from the region’s typical galets and contribute to wines of finesse, purity, and terroir clarity. With low yields, biodynamic farming, and whole-cluster vinification followed by aging in demi-muids, Chapelle Saint-Théodoric has quickly earned a reputation for rare, expressive, and critically lauded Châteauneuf-du-Pape that highlights the subtleties of its unique sites.
