- TASTING NOTE: "This shows great depth of flavour with plenty of spiced dark fruit with an earthy, mineral edge. There's a savouriness to its soft, silky structure too. Great bbq wine!" David Gillman, HWS
- ABOUT THE WINE: The Côtes du Rhône vines were planted between 1933 and 1946, and consist of 80% Grenache, 15% Syrah and 5% Cinsault. It is quite unbelievable just how good these are. France's appellation laws, whilst quite brilliant, can be frustrating for some, including Philippe Bravay - a little country road acts as a separation point that prevents these vines from being able to produce Châteauneuf du Pâpe. Cuvaison and elevage is all in tank (either cement or stainless steel).

ABOUT THE PRODUCER: Philippe Bravay from Domaine de Ferrand makes one of the finest examples of Chateauneuf du Pape available today. Philippe has now completely taken over the family domaine (Until 1995 most of the wine was sold to negociants and only a small part was bottled by his father) and is dedicated to preserving the unique traditions and special characteristics that define Chateauneuf du Pape. The domaine is tiny, all situated in the lieu-dit Ferrand. His neighbours in this Northern fringe near Orange are Charvin, Marcoux and Beaucastel.
