"Le Grand Saint-Paul" is produced by Jérôme Grieco, a winemaker from Châteauneuf-du-Pape, who has been consistently praised by international critics since his first vintage in 2009. In 2013, *La Revue du Vin de France* named it "Discovery of the Year." This wine is made from a plot in the Côtes-du-Rhône Village appellation, and as Jérôme Grieco himself describes it, "it’s the estate’s little Châteauneuf." Lively, with its lovely, blood-red color and tangy acidity, and a fresh, lingering finish, it’s a sure bet—but in limited quantities!

About the estate:
Located in the vineyards near Orange, the estate’s 5 hectares of Châteauneuf-du-Pape include century-old vines, which explains the intensity of the 2012 vintage presented here. The Côtes-du-Rhône from the same estate are also remarkable, and the young couple of winemakers now in charge are doing an exemplary job. Before this wine becomes too well-known, give it a chance to find a place in your cellar.
