Vignobles Mayard

Châteauneuf-du-Pape Grenache and Syrah blends rated by major critics.

Vignobles Mayard operates in Châteauneuf-du-Pape, the Southern Rhône's most prestigious appellation, where old-vine Grenache and Syrah form the backbone of complex, age-worthy reds. The winery's portfolio centers on three flagship wines: Le Hurlevent, a Grenache-led blend with Syrah and Cinsault; Domaine du Père Pape, a four-grape cuvée anchored by Cinsault and Syrah; and Cuvée Alex, built on Mourvèdre, Syrah, and Grenache. Each reflects the region's warm continental climate and the distinctive terroir of rolled pebbles and limestone that define the appellation. Wine Advocate, Wine Enthusiast, Wine Spectator, and Decanter have all assessed the winery's output, with Le Hurlevent achieving particular recognition among prestige critics. The wines embody the Southern Rhône tradition of structured, fruit-forward blends with the power and depth that Châteauneuf-du-Pape demands.
