The key to this wine is its balance. You may love CdP and Barossa Shiraz, as I do, but they are not for everyone, everyday, and too many 'villages' and lesser Rhones have too much extract and too much alcohol both for my palate and for anything I might wish to eat with them. This does not, without giving up anything in fruit and terroir flavour or lacking the heft to go with food. I remember the splendid wines this domaine turned out in the 1970s and 1980s and this is very reminiscent of them. They were good then and they aged very well - a 1984 in 2021 was still very good drinking. Drink this now or, if you are patient, I think it will improve steadily and for a long time. It is an excellent simpler wine, and at a very good price. Scoring it as a simpler wine, I would give it five stars. But if 5 stars are for Rayas or Romanee-Conti, this is still 3 1/2.

Appellation
Grignan-les-Adhémar
The appellation Grignan-les-Adhémar is part of the region of Vallée du Rhône from France which include Domaine de Grangeneuve and its 11 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..
