It consists of a layer of marine molasses of the Miocene period covered by alpine alluvium. The presence of a great number of rounded stones known as \"galets\" in the earth is evidence of the time when the Rhone, then a torrent, tore fragments of rock from the Alps and deposited them on the plain.

It offers a classic, fresh, beautifully focused style in its raspberry, garrigue, flower and spice aromatics. This gives way to a medium to full-bodied, deep, rich, layered red that has the underlying tannic grip and structure of the vintage. It's going to keep for 10-15 years.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp style=\"margin-bottom: 0px; word-wrap: break-word; line-height: 22.86px; padding: 0px !important;\"\u003e\u003cb\u003e- Jeb Dunnuck (October 2017), 91-93 pts\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Grand Veneur","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44948995899439,"sku":"F0GG137289GRL","price":25.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0741\/4677\/5087\/files\/grand_veneur_chateauneuf_du_pape_rouge_miocene_hq_label_f99a8aec-6dc9-44b0-9a9a-10737aed6f39.png?v=1771487017","url":"https:\/\/timelesswinesdirect.com\/products\/grand-veneur-chateauneuf-du-pape-rouge-le-miocene-2017-half-bottle","provider":"timelesswines.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
