Expert Reviews
Ripe strawberry, licorice, dried herbs and a sprinkle of white pepper present the 2021 Châteauneuf-du-Pape. Although closing in slightly below my expectations from barrel, it’s a solid red nonetheless. Medium to full-bodied and offering excellent freshness, the 2021 feels quite complete. An elegant conclusion rounds it all up.
Ferrand's uncompromisingly traditional 2021 Chateauneuf du Pape draws on the estate's vineyards in la Bertaude, Cabrières and la Gardiole. The fruit fermented in concrete, then the wine matured in tank (both stainless and concrete are used). An assemblage of 80% Grenache, 8% Mourvèdre, 5% Syrah, 2% Cinsault and a surprising 5% of Bourboulenc, it offers up attractive scents of violets, leather and cherries on the nose. In the mouth, this full-bodied effort is almost syrupy in texture, supple and expansive, then turns a bit leaner and more tannic on the lengthy finish. It should prove relatively long lived, with up to 15 years of drinkability.
