Saint Pierre de Luxembourg Châteauneuf du Pape Jean Marchand 1989
The 1989 Saint Pierre de Luxembourg is a French red wine produced by Jean Marchand in the Rhône region. Operating as a propriétaire-récoltant, Jean Marchand oversaw the entire production process, with the wine being harvested, vinified, and aged under his direction before being bottled directly at the property. The wine carries the brand name Saint Pierre de Luxembourg, referencing the patron saint of Châteauneuf-du-Pape, and holds the official Appellation Châteauneuf-du-Pape contrôlée classification. It was bottled with an alcohol content of 13.5%.
The Rhône Valley in southeastern France has a viticultural history that dates back to Roman times. The region is geographically divided into two distinct parts, with the warmer southern section being home to Châteauneuf-du-Pape, situated just north of Avignon. As one of France's most renowned red wine appellations, Châteauneuf-du-Pape is traditionally known for producing wines dominated by the Grenache grape, which is often blended with Syrah, Mourvèdre, and several other permitted varieties.
The history of the wine
Below, you can delve into the history of this wine — its producer, grape, area, and region.
Côtes du Rhône
The Rhône Valley in south-eastern France has grown wine since Roman times. The region falls into two parts: the northern section with steep slopes, where Syrah produces deep wines in Côte-Rôtie and Hermitage, and the warmer south, where Grenache-based blends culminate in Châteauneuf-du-Pape. The wines are spicy and powerful with dark berries, pepper and garrigue herbs.
