Chapelle Saint-Theodoric is a Châteauneuf project born in 2009 from a collaboration between Baptiste Grangeon of Domaine de Cristia and American importer Peter Weygandt, focused on single-vineyard, terroir-driven bottlings. Le Grand Pin (the Big Pine) comes from old-vine Grenache, 50 to 100 years old, planted in the sandy terroir of the Pignan lieu-dit, close neighbor to the legendary Château Rayas. Whole-cluster fermentation in concrete, then aging in demi-muids. 2015 was a major Châteauneuf vintage, concentrated and structured, and ten years on this single-vineyard Grenache is in its drinking window with plenty of upside ahead. Sandy soil Châteauneuf at its most graceful: floral, perfumed, supple, the Rayas template translated through a serious modern lens.

"Brilliant ruby. Explosive red berry liqueur and spicecake aromas are complicated by suggestions of smoky minerals, incense and floral pastilles; a subtle hint of licorice emerges with air. Juicy and deeply concentrated yet lithe, offering sweet black raspberry, cherry cola and floral pastille flavors and a refreshing jolt of peppery spices. The strikingly long, focused finish features resonating florality and supple tannins that fold effortlessly into the clinging, sappy fruit." —Josh Raynolds

"These Grenache vines in the Rayas lieu-dit are only 35 years old, but the 2015 Chateauneuf du Pape Le Grand Pin was singing in full voice when I tried a prebottling sample. Lovely floral and garrigue notes accent the ripest cherries on the nose, while the palate is remarkably airy and delicate with a nearly endless, silky finish." —Joe Czerwinski

"The Chapelle St-Théodoric wines are a joint venture between Baptiste Grangeon of Cristia and his US importer, Peter Weygandt. Both wines come from single parcels of old-vine Grenache planted less than 200m from one another, vinified with whole bunches alone and given ultra-gentle extraction of just one pump-over per day before being aged in older demi-muids. The Grand Pin comes from Pignan and is slightly higher in altitude than La Guigasse; it has almost white sand soils. It’s a light, translucent red with fragrant, near-floral aromas which seem to combine delicate wild strawberry and bramble fruits with cream and rosebud sweetness. The palate is delicate and gossamer-light; the fruits drawn in pastels. At the end of the palate, there’s a darker turn, recalling plant roots and underbrush, filling and lending resonance and patina to the fruits but without ever occluding them. The wine keeps its poise all the way to an almost mouth-freshening finish."

Flatiron's Take

From the Importer

What has to say about this wine:

Tasting Notes & Food Pairings

Perfect Pairings

Slow-roasted lamb shoulder with rosemary and garlic, herb-stuffed pork loin, mushroom ragout over polenta, or a wedge of aged Comté. The wine's perfume and elegance reward gentler preparations.

Tasting Profile

Lifted aromas of red raspberry, kirsch, dried lavender, blood orange, garrigue, and a touch of crushed stone. Supple and silken on the palate with fine tannins, fresh acidity, and a perfumed, lingering finish. Drinking beautifully now and over the next decade-plus.
