When crafted by a skilled winemaker such as Isabel Ferrando at Domaine Saint Préfert, Châteauneuf-du-Pape is one of the most expressive, compelling and age-worthy red wines in the world. This is the ‘August Favier’ Reserve, one of the top wines in this producer’s range.
Saint-Préfert recently celebrated its 100th anniversary of making wines that truly start in the vineyard. The soils are stony, porous and filtering, allowing the vines to root deeply in clay. With such extreme temperatures in the Rhône, these deep roots are vital to accessing water, resulting in grapes of immense intensity and richness.
Rather than try to outdo the professional wine writers, I’ll simply point you in the direction of Jeb Dunnuck’s 98 point review below. It’s just one of several such reviews that speak to the excellence of this wine.
