About the wine
Frederic pulled out all the stops when making this seriously-special Châteauneuf-du-Pape
-
Secret family techniques bring structure and some serious punch to this rich and smooth little number.
-
It’s bursting at the seams with dark berries and delicate floral notes, and it’s excellent length means your enjoyment of this wine will go on. And on. And on.
-
Be warned though, there’s not a lot going around. It’s an increasingly popular appellation so pick up this treasure now because, as Frederic says, ‘‘later’ will be too late!’
