Overview of the Wine
The La Bastide Saint Dominique estate lies in the heart of Provence, right in the foothills of Chateauneuf du Pape, buffeted by the gusts of the Mistral wind and bathed by the bright southern sun. Located at the heart of the Southern Rhône Valley, a stone’s throw away from Châteauneuf du Pape. La Bastide Saint Dominique estate enjoys optimal climate with the unique Mistral wind and very hot and dry summers. Built around a former 16th century chapel, the estate was created by Marie-Claude and Gérard Bonnet with only a handful of hectares. With strong commitment and passion, the Bonnet’s have expanded the estate to a total area of 50 hectares, producing Appellations d’Origine Protégée (AOP) Côtes du Rhône, Côtes du Rhône Villages, Cairanne, Châteauneuf du Pape and Indication Géographique Protégée (IGP) Méditerranée. Since 1999, their son Eric has been working with them and now takes care of the whole process from production to vinification with a more innovative approach, both on technical and marketing levels. Committed to the environment, La Bastide Saint Dominique registered for the French AB (Agriculture Biologique) Organic farming certification in 2011 and starting with the 2014 vintage, their wines are now certified.
La Bastide Saint Dominique’s particular combination of unique soil makeup, a rich assortment of grape varietals, and old vines ensure that La Bastide Saint Dominique wines are of exceptional quality. Their vines are planted on soils resting on limestone. The rest of the vineyard is composed of red clay and round pebbles which contribute to maintaining heat and regenerating it when needed. All of their cultural practices match the requirements of the Organic Farming regulations, as it is their priority to maintain both soil and vines with precise pruning methods, green harvest etc. Yields are naturally low and the whole estate is harvested by hand.

Winemaker's Tasting Notes
Intense purple wine. Very complex nose of bursting with sunshine fruits, sweet spices, scrubland and humus. The matter, marked by delicate tannins although solids, intense and ripe offer fruity one. Finale reveals a surprising length endowed with peppered notes. Wine with a lot of roundness and dept with a typical « old vine » tanin structure.
96 Points - Jeb Dunnuck
All Grenache, the 2022 Châteauneuf Du Pape Les Secrets De Pignan brings a touch more freshness. Wild strawberries, sappy flowers, Provençal garrigue, and ample spicy nuances all shine here, and it hits the palate with medium to full-bodied richness, a seamless, layered, elegant mouthfeel, terrific tannins, and a great finish. It's up with the top wines in the vintage and is going to cruise for 10-12 years or so in cold cellars.
95 Points - Jeff Leve, The Wine Cellar Insider
Ripe, lush, silky, and vibrant, the wine is packed with layers of sweet, kirsch, strawberry, chocolate, and black raspberries. Elegant, as well as rich, this is one of the wines of the vintage. The wine is made from 100% old vine Grenache. Drink from 2026-2040.
95 Points - James Suckling
A fine, elegant and chiseled 100% grenache from Chateauneuf-du-Pape. The nose reveals notes of wild berries, wafers, grilled herbs, stones and a touch of burnt fennel. It’s medium- to full-bodied with finely grained tannins. Such purity and class to the silky texture, yet it has tension and verve. Infused and stunning. Drink or hold.
