Domaine Duseigneur - Châteauneuf-du-Pape Catarina 2018

The Châteauneuf du Pape Catarina 2018, certified organic and biodynamic, is composed of 90% Grenache and 10% Syrah, from the Colombis, Bois de la Ville, and Grand Devès vineyards. Fermented in vats and aged in older demi-muids, it reveals a vibrant nose of raspberry and cherry, underscored by notes of garrigue and crushed stone. Medium-bodied to full-bodied, it is ripe and silky but not overly rich, and will be easy to pair with a meal." (Wine Advocate 2020)

Winery rated 2 stars (A serious and recommendable production, but a little more consistent and uniform than the previous one)

About the estate:

The 30-hectare estate is divided into two parts, in the municipalities of Saint-Laurent-des-Arbres and Lirac. On the right bank of the Rhône, the terroir consists of rounded pebbles on soils that are initially clay-limestone and then sandy. Since the estate was founded, the Duseigneur family has always cultivated its land naturally, respecting the nature of the soils as much as possible, and today practices biodynamics. The different vintages all have a serious structure and are often quite closed in their youth. The estate also produces a second range under the Domaine-de-Mayran label. We note that the latest vintages have gained in finesse and texture, undoubtedly the result of their recent collaboration with oenologist Philippe Cambie.
