France > Southern Rhône > Châteauneuf-du-Pape

Of the 8ha of old vines which sibling duo Marie & Francois Giraud organically farm in the Galimardes vineyard, 1ha are dedicated to white grapes. This white Châteauneuf-du-Pape - a roughly equal parts blend of Grenache Blanc, Bourboulenc, Clairette, and Roussanne - comes from the classic galets roules soils of the region. A modern Southern Rhône white, this wine is vibrant and light yet concentrated, promising rich flavours and a beautiful mouth feel.  

93/100 - Crafted from vines planted exclusively in galets roulés in the lieu-dit Les Gallimardes, the 2023 Chateauneuf du Pape Blanc Les Gallimardes exhales a delicate, complex bouquet of blanched almonds, white flowers, jasmine, lemon oil and ripe orchard fruits mingled with delicate smoke notes. Medium to full-bodied, tense and dynamic, it's layered and sappy with bright acids and a long, mineral finish. This blend of equal parts of Grenache Blanc, Roussanne, Bourboulenc and Clairette was matured for six months in used barrels (25%) and stainless steel. - Yohan Castaing, Wine Advocate

 

On the nose, appealing, delicate floral aromas of elderflower and may blossom.

On the palate, nicely smooth and rounded with notes of honey, acacia, and lavender. A lovely full finish reminiscent of liquorice.

Best enjoyed young, this wine will continue to evolve for the next 15 years.

Excellent on its own, consider drinking alongside grilled scallops with lemon better or lemon meringue.

Domaine Giraud

WINERY HISTORY

Domaine Giraud, established in 1974 by Pierre and Mireille Giraud, is relatively young yet rooted in rich viticultural heritage. Pierre, a sixth-generation grape grower from the village, traces his lineage to the venerable Armenier family through his mother. Meanwhile, Mireille, born into the Buou family, hails from a lineage that once operated the local distillery... Read More >>
