Product Description

Overview

Winery: Cabrieres

Cabrieres Chateauneuf du Pape Rouge Les Silex is made from 80% Grenache and 20% Syrah .

The vineyard is situated on the high tablelands, which are characteristic of the northern area of Châteauneuf-du-Pape. The terrain consists mainly of alpine diluvium and chalky Miocenian soil, with large flint pebbles covering the surface. These pebbles conserve the heat of the day during the night, thus avoiding too much evaporation.

A blend of 80% Grenache and 20% Syrah. Elegant cherry red color, with expressive notes of red fruits (strawberry and raspberry). Mellow tannins, well-balanced on the palate. I feel I need to point out the freshness, it is bright and lively on the palate, something we don’t see a lot of in this region. This also makes it extremely food friendly as it can hold up to fatty proteins.

Very good with white meat, red meat, charcuterie and cheese.

Review:

A more Grenache-dominated cuvée that includes some younger vines, the 2023 Châteauneuf Du Pape Cuvée Les Silex is 80% Grenache and 20% Syrah from the Cabrières lieu-dit that was partially destemmed and brought up all in concrete. It exhibits a deeper ruby hue as well as classic notes of black cherries, earth, garrigue, and leather. This carries to a medium-bodied, concentrated, slightly foursquare, yet satisfying effort offering solid overall balance and length.

Blending 80% Grenache with 20% Syrah, the 2023 Châteauneuf-du-Pape Les Silex de Cabrières is in the process of aging in concrete tanks for one year. It shows good complexity and intensity on the nose with smoky licorice, ripe strawberry and black cherry, but the definition on the palate falls a bit short. Grippy tannins take away some of the wine’s elegance.

The Arnaud family has owned the Château Cabrières property for three generations. In 2009, Guy Arnaud handed over the estate to his daughter, Agnes Arnaud, married to Patrick Vernier. Today, Agnes and Patrick are run the estate together.

The name ‘Cabrières’ comes from the Latin name Capraria, designating a place where goats are raised.

Château Cabrières is located in the village of Châteauneuf-du-Pape, in the Vaucluse department. The property dates back many centuries, indicated by a bread oven door that was discovered and preserved - the stone cut recalls the technique used in the 14th and 15th centuries. This proves the historic nature of the Chateau and its vine stock, both of which benefit from the flinty nature of the local soil, where vines have been planted since 1344.

The CDP vineyard is situated on the high tablelands, which are characteristic of the northern area of Châteauneuf-du-Pape. The terrain consists mainly of alpine diluvium and chalky Miocenian soil, with large flint pebbles covering the surface. These pebbles conserve the heat of the day during the night, thus avoiding too much evaporation.
