The Cellier family, brothers Ludovic, Julien and Benoit inherit a winemaking lineage that dates back to 1650, and in 2007, started the Domaine des 3 Cellier as a new winery, rooted in a long family tradition but not bounded by it. Using old vines in the heart of Chateauneuf du Pape, the brothers Cellier combine old and new techniques in the winery - notably including a small proportion of whole cluster fermentation - to achieve balance and an unusual sharpness to the aromas and flavors. The Alchemie cuvee is a blend of seven varieties; Grenache, Syrah, Mourvedre, Counoise, Terret noir, Vaccarese, and Clairette rose. Aromas include wild blueberry, raspberry, cherry, stewed strawberry, fig and date all dusted with sun-baked soil tones. The wine is lush on the palate but lively, with a ribbon of acidity that showcases flavors of raspberry, black cherry cordial, cinnamon and nutmeg, fig jam, and orange oil. On the finish, a pleasant tannic backbone emerges with herbs, blackberry, and gentle earth. This is a wine of contrasts, bold yet balanced, delicious by itself but perfectly suited to hearty dishes cooked in large cookware. If you get enough to age, the Alchemie will develop nicely over the next eight to ten years.
