In a few words ...
"croix de bois is an organic, single-varietal Grenache wine made from the typical Châteauneuf-du-Pape soil: large quartzite pebbles and sandy red clay. These pebbles are an undeniable asset! They store heat during the day and release it to the vines at night, guaranteeing perfect ripening of the berries. The grapes are harvested by hand and rigorously sorted. The grapes are destemmed, then vinified in closed concrete vats, with vatting lasting up to 3 weeks. Only the free-run juice is used in this cru, which is then aged for 14 to 16 months in vats. chapoutier croix de bois châteauneuf-du-pape 2014 is an intensely fruity, full-bodied, unctuous wine. It has a deep, brilliant garnet-red color. The aromatic intensity of the nose reveals a bouquet of black fruits, blackcurrants, ripe cherries and even blackberry jam, with a hint of bay leaf and even licorice. Taut, full-bodied and unctuous on the palate, very typical of blackberry jam, with a finish of warm tannins and a hint of spice. A great vintage that can be cellared for up to 30 years".

Maison M. Chapoutier
Maison M. Chapoutier is a domain from the region Vallée du Rhône in France, that produces 179 wines available to purchase, including the wine Croix de Bois 2021.
Appellation
Châteauneuf-du-Pape
The appellation Châteauneuf-du-Pape is part of the region of Vallée du Rhône from France which include Maison M. Chapoutier and its 179 cuvées. Spread over The Rhone Valley and its rich, complex terroirs. The region is divided into two distinct subregions: Northern Rhone (known as Rhône Septentrional) and Southern Rhone (Rhône Méridional). In the former we find strong wines in beautiful colours with warm, spicy notes, produced by vineyards that stretch 4,700 ha along the Rhone. The latter, with an area of 71,000 ha, is much more important, and this is evident of course in its annual production of red, rosé and white wines quite unlike those of the Northern Rhone., this region is 3 million hectolitres per year of red wines, rosés, dry and sparkling white wines, and natural sweet wine..
