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. The GRAND VENEUR cuvee will express year after year a great power and aromatic complexity.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e\r\n\t \u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e\r\n\tWinemaking \u0026amp; ageing: Harvest is sorted by hand, destemmed and crushed.

It's ripe and plummy, with notes of black cherries and licorice, yet there's also a sense of freshness. Full-bodied and velvety in texture, it's already approachable but has the substance to age through 2030. Tasted twice (once blind), with consistent notes. - Joe Czerwinski\" -\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp style=\"word-wrap: break-word; line-height: 22.8571px; margin-bottom: 0px !important; padding: 0px !important;\"\u003e Robert Parker's Wine Advocate (Issue 244, August 2019), 93 pts\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp style=\"word-wrap: break-word; line-height: 22.8571px; margin-bottom: 0px !important; padding: 0px !important;\"\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Grand Veneur","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44948989345839,"sku":"F0EE137287GRL","price":45.0,"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_8aaf3bb0-2a0e-425c-a6ae-a770643dc53d.png?v=1771486832","url":"https:\/\/timelesswinesdirect.com\/products\/grand-veneur-chateauneuf-du-pape-rouge-le-miocene-2017","provider":"timelesswines.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
