We’ve just entered rarified air with this Châteauneuf-du-Pape, made by an incredible ‘cult’ winery - Domaine Saint-Préfert. Having recently celebrated its 100th anniversary, they have a century of experience and knowledge, that is; great wine starts in the vineyard. The incredibly ancient 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. Super intensity, you could say.
The ‘Charles Giraud’ Collection CdP is the jewel in the crown of Saint-Préfert’s range. It’s best to read the 99-point review from Rhône aficionado Jeb Dunnuck to get a professional writer’s take on the wine, one that is quite rare and special. Just so we are clear, that’s 99 out of a possible score of 100 - wine rarely get’s any better than this. If you are serious about wine, add this to your collection.
