Domaine de Villeneuve La Griffe is a natural, biodynamic and organic red wine made by Domaine de Villeneuve in the AOC Côtes du Rhône, in the Rhône Valley using the Garnacha Tinta, Syrah, Mourvèdre and Cinsault varieties.
The Domaine de Villeneuve winery lies on the northern edge of the Chateauneuf-du-Pape denomination in the Rhône Valley and has been owned by Stanilas Wallut since 1993. Characterised by centuries-old vineyards and ancient geological soils, these features give their wines extraordinary complexity and elegance.
Domaine de Villeneuve La Griffe comes from 4 hectares of 40 to 50 year old vineyards next to the Châteauneuf-du-Pape denomination. A one-piece plot with pebble and red clay terroir that has been cultivated under Ecocert organic and Biodynamic Biodyvin certification since 2011. The harvest is carried out manually at the optimum point of ripeness.
In the winery, the Domaine de Villeneuve La Griffe grapes are first pressed using a vertical press and then fermented spontaneously with native yeasts. Finally, the wine is aged in 51 hl concrete tanks for 18 to 24 months.
As the winery’s little brother, Domaine de Villeneuve La Griffe is a rich, complex and fresh natural cuvée. You will definitely be impressed.
