Les Halos De Jupiter Chateauneuf Du Pape 2022
Les Halos de Jupiter Châteauneuf du Pape originates from France, within the Southern Rhône region and the Châteauneuf du Pape appellation. The project is a collaboration between winemaker Michel Gassier and the renowned oenologist Philippe Cambie, who shared a winemaking philosophy focused on magnifying the quality of Grenache. The estate is named after the planet Jupiter—symbolizing the leading Châteauneuf du Pape appellation—and its moons, which represent surrounding Southern Rhône appellations. This wine is crafted to showcase the region's diverse terroir by blending fruit from stone-covered vineyards for intensity, clay soils for richness, and sandy terroirs for purity.
Wine Description
This red wine is typically bold and opulent, designed to express the character of very old vines. It presents a full body that is often balanced by a lively acidity. The sensory profile features high fruit intensity, offering an opulent bouquet of ripe blackcurrants, dark cherries, and plums. On the palate, the wine reveals complex layers of blackberry fruit accented by subtle hints of black pepper and spice. Well-structured tannins provide a robust framework, leading to a harmonious finish.
Varietal Composition: A traditional blend typically consisting of 85% Grenache (from vines over 100 years old), 10% Syrah, and 5% Mourvèdre.
Stylistic Notes: The wine is celebrated for its balance of power and finesse; it is aged in a combination of one and two-year-old French oak demi-muids, foudres, and concrete vats to refine its structure.
ABV: Typically recorded between 14% and 15%.
Organic Status: Produced with minimal intervention—including no fining or filtering—though it is not generally specified as certified organic.
