About the wine
The best £20 Chateauneuf-du-Pape you've never tried
- Winemaker Bruno scored a whopping 89/100 points from the respected Wine Spectator magazine for his 2011 vintage, and we think his 2012 vintage is even better!
- Expect a big mouthful of ripe, rounded fruit from Grenache, and the savoury, earthy sophistication of Syrah. Powerful and rich from your first glass to your last.
- This wine is best for laying down for up to a decade. But if you plan on drinking it now, be sure to decant and double decant - and you'll be rewarded with something truly heavenly

Wine profile
Meet the winemaker - Bruno Lafon
- Bruno grew up making wines at the ultra expensive, ultra premium Domaine Comte Lafon Estate in Meursault so he knows what he's doing.
- He struck south to make a name for himself rather than live in the shadows of his prestigious family.
- After being tipped off by our friend Benjamin Darnault, Bruno came running to the siren call of 150,000 Angels. It's a good reminder that 150,000 Angels allows us to land bigger and bigger winemakers.
