Domaine Giraud Châteauneuf-du-Pape Les Galimardes 2020 is a powerful yet polished expression of old-vine Grenache, packed with dark cherry, cassis and damson plum, threaded with sweet baking spice, mocha and a touch of garrigue. The palate is full-bodied and concentrated but remarkably silky, with fine tannins and vibrant acidity keeping the rich core of fruit precise and long on the finish.

Domaine Giraud’s “Les Galimardes” is a terroir-driven Châteauneuf‑du‑Pape from the vineyard’s southern quartier of big, heat‑retaining galets; its red is built around very old‑vine Grenache with a touch of Syrah, showing ripe, concentrated fruit, garrigue and fine tannins, while the white (an equal blend of Grenache Blanc, Clairette, Bourboulenc and Roussanne) is floral, rounded and saline‑mineral from the stony, clay‑beneath‑pebble soils—overall a modern, vibrant and powerful expression of this storied site.
