E. Guigal Saintes Pierres De Nalys Chateauneuf-Du-Pape Rouge 2016

E. Guigal Saintes Pierres de Nalys Châteauneuf-du-Pape Rouge 2016 is a beautifully crafted Southern Rhône red that serves as the highly approachable yet deeply complex second wine of the historic Château de Nalys, newly revitalized under the legendary Guigal family. Benefiting from a spectacular 2016 vintage, this Grenache-dominant blend—complemented by Syrah, Cinsault, and other traditional varietals—pours a brilliant ruby red. It offers an expressive and inviting bouquet of ripe red cherries, wild blackberries, and the region's signature garrigue of savory wild herbs. On the palate, it delivers a medium-to-full-bodied elegance characterized by a supple, silky texture and vibrant layers of juicy red fruit, all supported by fine-grained tannins and a dash of black pepper. Fresh, beautifully balanced, and instantly charming, it culminates in a smooth, lingering finish that makes it an exceptionally food-friendly wine, perfect for pairing with roasted meats and enjoying right away or cellaring for a few more years.
