Domaine de Ferrand Chateauneuf du Pape Rouge 2022
The Wine
Philippe produces of the finest old Grenache wines in the world today. Fermented in open concrete vats and tanks, it is a wine of considerable elegance and grace. Despite all the accolades, it remains very fairly priced. This 2022 release from Philippe is superb, consistent and will reward careful cellaring handsomely.
Dark red; the nose centers on spiced cooked damson plum, with a peppery thrust at its core. The palate offers a well-grounded, fluid glass of Châteauneuf, with bustling tannins, assured length, and sparks of garrigue as it finishes, with menthol present. It has the body and composition to come together for a handsome, genuine glass. Its texture is wholesome and tasty. Best from late 2026. DrinkRhone.com, Oct 2023.
