"A Châteauneuf with incredible charm"

“The transition in the cellar under Ralph Garcin’s leadership appears to be bearing fruit, as evidenced by three consecutive ‘ Favorites ’ awards in the last three editions. In the spotlight this year is the estate’s classic label, a breathtaking 2021 with a captivating nose of resin, cilantro, fallen leaves, wild strawberries, and candied blackberries. Enhanced by sap-like tannins that are perfectly integrated into the wine and barely perceptible oak, the palate displays a noble, caressing, and fresh texture, where the aromas revealed on the nose blossom, complemented by an irresistible mineral touch of flint. Utterly charming.” (Le Guide Hachette 2025)

5-Star-Rated Estate (Exceptional producers who represent the absolute pinnacle of quality in France and around the world)

About the estate:

Things are moving forward at the powerful Ampuis estate. In the north, Philippe Guigal no longer hides his desire to eventually transition to organic farming, and the recent plantings at the Le Plomb site were carried out to allow for winch-assisted work. But it is in the south that the most significant projects are underway, with a new winery set to be operational at Château de Nalys as early as the 2025 harvest and new buildings expected in 2026. Meanwhile, the first tastings—still unofficial—of La Reynarde, the future new gem of Côte Rôtie, are continuing, proving to those who had their doubts the beauty of the Fongeant terroir.

About the wine:

The transition in the cellar under Ralph Garcin’s leadership appears to be bearing fruit, as evidenced by three consecutive “ Favorites ” awards in the last three editions. In the spotlight this year is the estate’s classic label, a breathtaking 2021 with a captivating nose of resin, cilantro, fallen leaves, wild strawberries, and candied blackberries. Enhanced by sap-like tannins that are perfectly integrated into the wine’s body and barely perceptible oak, the palate displays a noble, caressing, and fresh texture, where the aromas revealed on the nose blossom, complemented by an irresistible mineral note of flint. Utterly charming.

About the estate:

One of the oldest estates in Châteauneuf-du-Pape, first recorded in the 17th century, when it was owned by the Nalys family. Its venerable vineyard (52 ha) experienced a renaissance beginning in the 1950s. A staple of the appellation, it was acquired in 2017 by Maison Guigal. The transition to organic farming is underway.

About the wine:

A refined, fresh, and well-balanced red wine with aromas of strawberries, red berries, wild herbs, and sweet spices. Medium-bodied with fine tannins. Delicate texture with the finesse typical of this vintage. Velvety and concentrated. Ready to drink or suitable for aging.

Rated "Recommended"

About the wine:

The 2021 Châteauneuf-du-Pape Saintes Pierres De Nalys is composed of 70% Grenache (20% whole clusters), with the remainder consisting primarily of Syrah aged mainly in large casks. Its medium ruby color is followed by a magnificent bouquet of ripe strawberries and raspberries, along with numerous spicy, floral, and Provençal aromas and flavors. With a medium-bodied structure, ripe tannins, a beautiful overall balance, and exceptional length, it will age gracefully for at least 10 to 15 years. It is just as good as the Grand Vin, but its style is more elegant and refined.
