Since its inception and several decades ago, Chêne Bleu has been recognised as one of the Rhône’s most distinctive voices, a pioneering Domaine, where Southern Rhône generosity meets Northern Rhone-style elegance and Burgundian winemaking precision. Their remote, high-altitude location underpins a fervent commitment to biodiversity, sustainability and regenerative viticulture. From La Verrière, the restored medieval priory in Crestet, Vaucluse, Xavier Rolet and his family and team forged a reputation for wines of prestige, authenticity and longevity that sit comfortably among the world’s fine wines.
Chene Bleu Abelard 2017
14.5% abv
Abélard is a blend of 85% Grenache and 15% Syrah and is a sumptuous wine, full of velvety texture. This is a beautifuly perfumed wine, with notes of wild strawberries and dark fruit. The palate is awash wish intense black cherries, hints of mocha and sweet spice. While definitely full bodies, there is a wonderful interplay of density of fruit and freshness. This wine gives you all the power you want from a southern Rhone wine, but there a lovely core of coolling acidity that makes you go back for more and more.
The Grenache wines are over40 years old, from north-west facing vineyards at 530 m. The Syrah, is from 30 years old, south-west facing at 540 m. The soil is a mixture of argilo-calcaire (clay and limestone), and is very stony. After fermantation, the wine spends 18 months in French oak Tonneaux. No synthetic treatments are used, and biodynamic principles ensure health of vine and soil.
