ABOUT THIS BOTTLE
"La Griffe" is a single vineyard spanning 4 hectares, located on the border of the Châteauneuf-du-Pape AOP. It features the same soil, grape varieties, and terroir as Châteauneuf-du-Pape, but lies just across the road from its boundary. This vineyard produces Côtes du Rhône wine that reflects the unique characteristics of the Châteauneuf-du-Pape terroir.
