About this wine

This Châteauneuf-du-Pape from Domaine Féraud et Fils is a textbook example of what makes the Southern Rhône so special. It's the kind of wine that turns a simple dinner into a proper celebration, with layers of flavor that keep you coming back for another sip.

You'll find ripe red berries and dark cherry on the nose, followed by hints of garrigue herbs, lavender, and a touch of white pepper from the Grenache and Mourvèdre blend. On the palate, it's full-bodied and generous, with silky tannins and a long, warming finish that shows off its 14% alcohol beautifully. The Cinsault adds freshness, while the small touch of Clairette brings elegance to the blend.

This beauty pairs wonderfully with slow-cooked lamb, beef daube, or even a hearty wild boar stew. Decant it for at least an hour before serving to let it open up, and serve at 16-18°C to get the most out of those complex aromas.
