This wine,
from the South of France, is made from Grenache, Syrah, Cinsault,
Mourvèdre, Counoise, Picpoul and Muscardin grapes. This
legend of a wine is complex and stunning! Flavors of smoke,
leather, cedar and black plum dance in the mouth with a hint of
tartness reminiscent of rhubarb. An excellent wine for a fine cut
of meat or your favorite roast.

Pierre André
and his daughter continue a family tradition of producing powerful
red wines from their thirty six acres of vines in Courthezon,
between Orange and Avignon in southern France. Organic agriculture
is another tradition in this family, who began using these methods
in 1963 and converted fully in 1980. They have also practiced
biodynamic viticulture, and have been certified biodynamic by
Demeter since 1990.
Wines from Châteauneuf-du-Pape are made from a blend of up to
thirteen grape varieties. The André wine blends major elements of
Grenache, Syrah, and Mourvèdre with smaller amounts of Cinsault,
Counoise, Picpoul, and Muscardin. Their vines average 60 years old
with some parcels exceeding 100 years! Diverse soil types and a
southern exposure give these vines excellent conditions for
production of balanced, healthy wines that will develop for many
years after the harvest.
The 2006 vintage invites you to travel through layers upon layers
of gustatory revelations. It is the kind of wine to cry over in
front of so much beauty!
