This vintage immediately captivates with its floral, elegant and well-defined profile. The fruit is generous, almost infused, with notes of ripe cherry and violet, and a hint of spice that adds depth. On the palate, it is full-bodied and supple, with well-integrated tannins that prolong the pleasure with flavours of ripe fruit. A harmonious, precise wine that combines richness and balance with great finesse.

Viticulture

A historic cuvée created in 1923 by Marie Louise and Alphonse Mayard, the second generation of winemakers in the family at Châteauneuf-du-Pape and founders of Clos du Calvaire. This iconic wine from the Châteauneuf-du-Pape estate is made from vines planted across the appellation’s various terroirs: rounded pebbles, limestone, red sandstone and sand.

Oenology

Hand-harvested into 20 kg crates, hand-sorted in the vineyard and at the winery, transferred to vats by gravity, partially destemmed and fully crushed. Co-fermentation depending on ripeness, maceration for between 20 and 25 days in concrete vats at controlled temperatures, gentle extraction through racking and pumping over. Indigenous yeasts and lactic bacteria only. Aged for 12 months in steel vats and large casks on lees.
