This 19-hectare estate’s vines are spread across almost 70 parcels, and the wines, made by the brother-and-sister team of Marie and François Giraud, have emerged as some of the best of the appellation. That said, they seem to still fly under most Châteauneuf lovers’ radar. Marie Giraud told me that she looks at 2016 as “mostly like 2010, but with more flesh and sweetness and more delicate tannins.” Also, unlike 2010, she thinks that “the wines won’t require cellaring. They’ll reward it but they don’t demand it.”
