Contrary to our planning, we will not begin to pick grapes at Vinsobres today; and will be concentrating on Chateauneuf-du-Pape; and specifcally on the vineyards that compose our Chateauneuf Perrin et Fils les sinards.

This morning we have been concentrating on our parcels of grenache situated inside the walls that surrounds the castle of the Popes, you can see the walls (framing the ruins) on the photo below.
