Chateau Chateau

A series of wines made from micro-plantings—1/4 acre to 1 acre vineyards, sometimes in the farmer’s front yard—of super-old heritage Grenache vines more than 100 years old, with low yields, from the most chic sub-regions. Made with the utmost quality standards, these wines turned out be the Grenache equal to Grand Cru Burgundy.  Some of these wines are still floating around the market. It’s worth making an effort to find them. They are sublime.
