Domaine de Ferrand Chateauneuf du Pape 2021

From the cooler northern section of Châteauneuf-du-Pape comes this sophisticated blend led by Grenache with Mourvèdre, Syrah, Cinsault, and a touch of Bourboulenc. The 2021, made with 50% whole-bunch fermentation, offers attractive violet and leather aromatics alongside ripe cherry, with an undercurrent of spice and garrigue. Full-bodied yet elegant, this wine rewards immediate enjoyment and will age gracefully through the mid-2030s.
