Wine maker notes
The “Grand St. Paul” vineyard is contiguous with Jerome’s Chateauneuf du Pape vineyards. The two vineyards are only separated by a small dirt road. Jerome’s “Grand St. Paul” vineyard is filled with old Grenache vines, many over 80 years old.
The combination of this great terroir, and its very old vines, makes exceptionally complex “declassified” Cotes du Rhone Villages. Because they have declassified this wine, they are not allowed to use the Domaine de la Biscaralle’s name on the label.
Growing on gravelly soil, the vines of this single plot (planted at about 90% Cinsault and 10% other grape varieties) produce grapes picked and sorted manually at optimum maturity. They are neither destemmed nor crushed (the berries remain whole), a nice old-fashioned work!
