E. Guigal Saintes Pierres De Nalys Rouge

The E. Guigal "Saintes Pierres de Nalys" is the refined and approachable second wine of Château de Nalys, offering a fresh window into the estate's prestigious Châteauneuf-du-Pape terroirs. Sourced from a mix of young and old vines across the Nalys, La Crau, and Bois Sénéchal parcels, it is designed for earlier enjoyment than the Grand Vin. The bouquet is bright and expressive, featuring aromas of ripe raspberries, strawberries, and red cherries, layered with delicate notes of garrigue (Provençal herbs), white pepper, and a hint of licorice. On the palate, the wine is medium-to-full-bodied and remarkably supple, showcasing silky tannins and a juicy, fruit-driven core. Aged for approximately 18 months in a combination of stainless steel and large oak foudres, it concludes with a clean, persistent finish that balances southern warmth with elegance.
