This 2022 Le Traversier red Châteauneuf-du-Pape from Château Simian is mainly made from 70% Grenache Noir, complemented by Syrah for 20% and Mourvèdre for 5%. It is produced organically and biodynamically.

It offers a beautiful purple colour, intense and deep and on the nose, beautiful aromas of black fruits (blueberries, blackberries), cherry stones, spices (pepper), bay leaf and garrigue flowers, with a fine aniseed note. On the palate, the balance is perfect with a lot of finesse, between unctuous fruit and a very nice freshness. The finish is long, with licorice, dark fruit and spice, with textured tannins already melted. It will be the perfect accompaniment to roast or stew meats or poultry with a mixed greens of roasted vegetables with savory and bay leaf.

This cuvée whose name, "Le Traversier", is that of the old road that connects the three plots of 6 hectares in total from which it comes:
- the first, to the north of Les Cabrières, on the slopes under the highest terrace, where Grenache Noir is planted on clay-limestone soils with rounded pebbles.
- the second in the extreme north of the appellation, in the place called "La Bertaude" where Syrah, Grenache Blanc, Bourboulenc and Roussanne are planted.
- the last one to the north, on the climb that leads to Châteauneuf du Pape, on the place called "le Caladas", with clay-limestone soils with rounded pebbles where the oldest Grenache vines are planted, some since 1880, as well as the Clairette.

Find Château Simian wines currently on sale at La Bouteille Dorée, a family estate located in Polienc at the foot of the Massif d'Uchaux for several generations.
