"A mouthful of vinous joy, accessible now but built to last" International Wine Challenge

The Caves Saint-Pierre is a classic example of a wine that completely overdelivers on the price quality front from a winery with over 100 years of experience.

Fabulously paired with dishes that contain saffron such as paella or Moroccan tagines

Description

Love the big reds of Châteauneuf du Pape? Then this is the wine for you, a classic GSM blend from the 2016 vintage rated 96-99/100 by Wine Spectator Magazine, Decanter have called this “unmissable, one of the greats”…

A youthful, juicy Vacqueyras - young, vibrant and packed with bilberries and cracked black pepper. A mouthful of vinous joy, accessible now but built to last" International Wine Challenge 2017

Located in Châteauneuf du Pape since 1898, Caves Saint-Pierre is a winery whose reputation has been built on its knowledge of the vineyards along with expertise in the blending and ageing of wines for over one hundred years. This appellation is just next door to Châteauneuf du Pape, with similar stony vineyards, produces sumptuous, rich, velvety reds made with Grenache, Syrah and Mourvèdre, a classic GSM blend, but without the big price tag you pay over the road in Châteauneuf du Pape.

Vacqueyras was upgraded from Côtes du Rhône Villages status to its own fully-fledged appellation in 1990 and has never looked back!  Now many of the wines are of Chateauneuf du Pape quality without the price tag. The Caves Saint-Pierre is a classic example of a wine that completely overdelivers on the price quality front from a winery with over 100 years of experience.
