Guillaume Gonnet Bel Ami Chateauneuf-du-Pape

The vines for this Chateauneuf Du Pape are very old and average 50 to 90 years old and planted at a density of 3500 vines per HA, planted on a South East facing vineyard. All the grapes are hand harvested.

Red and black fruit aromas, with hints of herbs, christmas cake and a peppery spice. An elegant wine with soft round tannins. This wine will open up beautifully if decanted at least 1 hour before serving. Try with game, red meats, coq au vin, parma ham, duck or spicy sausage.

The energetic and charismatic Guillaume Gonnet is not your average Rhône winemaker. Extremely open in his attitude, his curious, boundary-challenging approach extends far beyond wine. He has travelled to the far ends of the earth, revelling in the opportunity to surf some of the best waves in the world while learning his craft in various Australian and New Zealand regions. Returning to the Rhône with his Australian wife Kelly, Guillaume has put similar energy into his family estate and his new-found enthusiasm for Grenache-based wines. Guillaume allows the fruit to express itself freely through hands-off winemaking and displaying a fascination for the varying soils of the Rhône in his diverse wines.
