A consistent top Gold medal winner, this gorgeous, velvety Rhône red offers tremendous value. It’s from the only co-operative cellar in Châteauneuf du Pape, which is owned and run by local growers. The reason it’s not labelled Châteauneuf (and is not twice the price!) is that the grapes are from vineyards next door to the famed appellation. What they do share is the same rock strewn soil that promotes superb richness and ripeness – and vines that are similarly aged and gnarled, which results in tiny quantities of concentrated fruit. Skilfully put together by Thierry Ferlay, this exceptional cuvée is a Top 10 choice for our customers year after year. The 2016 vintage is a real gem – and very handy in a half bottle. Great with lamb.
