Châteauneuf du Pape, 2015

Tasting Note:

Clearly more warmth and structure than the estate’s ethereal 2014 but without sacrificing hallmark Feraud charm and poise. Gutsy warming flavours of garrigue and hedgerow fruit, brimming with sloe and damson flavours. Sweet ripe spicy fruit that leaves the palate clean and refreshed. For all of its character and depth, there is clear elegance and beauty to this. From a blend of grapes coming in vines in the Pointu and Rayas sectors where plantations are 85% Grenache, 10% Mourvèdre and the rest a mixture of other permitted co-planted varieties. Whole bunch, spontaneous yeast-fermented and aged in old oak tonneaux for two Springs.
