Terroir: Le Songe de Catherine is a single-vineyard wine.
The vines of this plot, Le Grand Dévès lieu-dit near the village of Châteauneuf-du-Pape, are in average 60 years old.
The soils are mainly composed of cretaceous limestone slabs called lauzes. This type of soil, rare on the appellation, gives the red wines freshness, elegance and a beautiful balance.
Varietal: 100% Grenache.
Winemaking and Ageing: Average yield is about 25hl/ha.
40% of whole clusters. Fermentation with natural yeasts for a 4 to 5-week-maceration in concrete tanks. Ageing during 24 months in old French oak demi-muids.
Why "Le Songe de Catherine "?: Catherine of Siena Saint and Doctor of the Church went to Avignon in 1376 as ambassador of the city of Florence. She persuaded Pope Gregory XI to return to Rome to relocate the Papacy back where it belonged.Throughout her life she had dreams and mystical visions. During one of the dreams God appeared to her as a tree with roots plunging down to the earth and brunches that reached up into heaven.
2019 is a superb, colorful and beautifully crafted vintage. After the many rains that marked the spring of 2018, the 2019 vintage confirms a return to normal spring rainfall. The perfect sanitary condition of the raisins has made it possible to produce wines with intense colours, unctuous and generous, with a very beautiful aromatic purity. We can already anticipate a fantastic aging potential for the 2019 vintage.
