Dumaine du Grangeon

In 1998 Christophe Reynouard took over the helm of the family estate, based in the far western edge of the Ardeche, from his father. Christophe studied farming practices and winemaking under the tutelage of the legendary Georges Verney, the legendary producer in Condrieu. Along with Chrystelle and their sons, they raise wines which are floral and profound, notably the ultra-rare Chatus.  The soils in their terraced parcels are Granite, in the form of sand.  The winery farms sustainably with no chemicals used in the vineyards.

2019 Pinot Noir les Combes

Description

“Exotic, wild, and full of spice and pepper. Mouth coating tannin and deep dark fruit. The palate was full and intense, with luscious flavors of sweet plums and dark berries showing both muscular power and wonderful purity, all this seasoned with loads of spicy, woody, brambly accents.”

2019 Syrah

Description

“Beautiful, with northern Rhone-like black pepper, blackberry, violets, olive tapenade, all emerging from the glass. Amazing precision and purity. Structured with loads of very fine-tannin and a perfect acidity. Complex and powerful, yet still very elegant. Medium-bodied, seamless and elegant, with a lightly textured and juicy feel.”

2016 Chatus

Description

“Ample, violet-laced blackberry fruits, scorched earth, tar, graphite and licorice to go with a medium-bodied, structured, yet elegant profile on the palate. The texture is liquid granite and it flows over the tongue as if woven from the finest silk. Yet this medium-bodied wine is light and graceful, with notable, savory tannin and integrated acidity with cherry, spice and pepper.”
