Description
The Grand Prieur from the Bonpas estate is a red wine made from Grenache and Syrah grapes grown on terraces at the foot of the Dentelles de Montmirail, near the village of Gigondas. The name of the estate derives from "Bon passage," referring to the safe crossing of the Durance River which once connected Rome to Avignon.
The winemaking follows the traditional method, with a long temperature-controlled maceration between 22°C and 25°C. The oenological intervention is kept to a minimum to favor the authentic expression of the fruit and the terroir. 15% of the blend ages for eight months in French barriques, from one to three passes.
It presents a garnet red color. The nose releases an intense bouquet of dark fruits. On the palate, it reveals great balance and complexity, with notes of plum, black cherry, and spices. The structure is elegant and velvety, with a pleasant roundness and refinement.
Ideal to pair with lightly spiced dishes, pepper steak, or braised meats.
