This red Châteauneuf-du-Pape from the Rhône Valley is a blend of 60% Grenache from the Grand Pierre terroir, 10% Syrah, 10% Mourvèdre and 20% from the appellation's other grapes, many on vines 80 years old or older. Yields are low at 1.4 to 1.8 tons per acre. The grapes are hand harvested and sorted, then co-fermented as whole clusters with indigenous yeasts in small concrete tanks, followed by a lengthy maceration. The wine ages in Burgundy oak barrels and is clarified by repeated decanting. Production rarely exceeds 1,000 cases.
Domaine du Banneret is a 3.5 hectare family estate in the heart of Châteauneuf-du-Pape, tracing its origins to 1405. Jean-Claude Vidal, a descendant of the Bertet family, took it over in 1989 after a career as an architect. His daughter Audrey now oversees the domaine. Farming is organic, and the wine is unfined and unfiltered.
