Duseigneur Châteauneuf-du-Pape Le Songe de Catherine 2016

Domaine History

Domaine Duseigneur, based in Châteauneuf-du-Pape, is known for its biodynamic philosophy and artisanal approach. The estate focuses on expressing the richness of Rhône terroirs with wines that balance power and elegance, crafted with minimal intervention to preserve purity and authenticity.

Terroir

The vineyards sit on the iconic galets roulés and sandy-clay soils of Châteauneuf-du-Pape. This terroir, combined with the Mediterranean climate, enhances ripeness, complexity, and balance, providing the ideal conditions for producing long-aging Grenache wines.

Tasting Notes

Deep garnet color. The nose is intense and layered, with aromas of red currants, blackberries, toasted spices, graphite, and candle wax. The palate is rounded and opulent, offering sweet tannins, beautiful purity of fruit, and remarkable concentration, all wrapped in freshness and finesse.

A seductive and elegant Châteauneuf-du-Pape with impressive balance and great aging potential — one of the standout vintages since 1998.

Pairing

Ideal with roasted partridge and chanterelles, leg of lamb with Ventoux mushrooms, or other refined game dishes.
