"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 grapes grown on a Côtes-du-Rhône Village vineyard, and as Jérôme Grieco himself describes it, “it’s the estate’s little Châteauneuf.” Lively, with a lovely, blood-red color and crisp 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 5 hectares of Châteauneuf-du-Pape include century-old vines, which explains the intensity of the 2012 vintage presented here. The Côtes-du-Rhône wines from the same estate are also remarkable, and the young winemaking couple now in charge is doing an exemplary job. Before this wine becomes too well-known, give it a chance to find a place in your wine cellar.
