Domaine Feraud & Fils Chateauneuf-du-Pape AOC

The terroir of Châteauneuf-du-Pape enjoys an international reputation whose history dates back to the middle of the 14th century, when the Papacy decided to settle in Avignon. Located in the east of the appellation, surrounded by 1 ha of woods, the Domaine Féraud & Fils is made up of more than 5 hectares and cultivates old vines, proudly rooted in the red sands and sandstones of Châteauneuf-du-Pape.

Aromatic sweet red fruits abound on the nose, on the palate the effortless, silky red fruit is joined by notes of aniseed and liquorice spice. Warming, sensual and elegant. Heady but with the most beautiful, haunting, floral finish. A product of a sunny vintage for sure, but as successful and graceful a rendition as you could imagine. From a blend of grapes coming from vines in the Grand Pierre and Pointu sectors just south of Rayas where plantations are 85% Grenache, 10% Mourvèdre and the rest a mixture of other permitted co-planted varieties. Whole bunch, spontaneous yeast-fermented and aged in old oak tonneaux for two Springs.
