Domaine de Ferrand Châteauneuf du Pape 2020
Simply superb. Fresh raspberries, succulent dark cherries backed up with bracing acidity and peppery structure. Predominately Grenache from old vines, some approaching the 100 year mark. Philippe Bravay chooses not to use new oak, to let the minuscule amount of fruit he receives express itself clearly. The high natural ripeness of his Châteauneuf makes this a blockbuster wine with balance. Built to age and made to drink with the people you love. Try with some roast turkey or duck breast with cherry sauce, a wine for celebration.
