The Wine
Châteauneuf-du-Pape is the most famous red of the southern Rhône, adored for its big spice and warm, ripe, velvety fruit. That’s particularly true in 2022 when a hot, dry vintage brought a gorgeous richness to the wines, particularly in Châteauneuf, the old vines of which could cope with a lack of rain. Le Prince de Courthézon is made at Châteauneuf’s only co-operative winery by award-winning Thierry Ferlay. All the grape growers are part owners, so maximising quality is of utmost importance to them. They work with ancient, low-yielding vines to deliver not only a lovely intensity but complexity too. Mostly Grenache, with Syrah and Mourvèdre adding colour and aromatic nuances, this wine is best decanted early. Serve with a rich casserole.
"Châteauneuf-du-Pape is a rich, powerful red that rarely comes cheap. This wine represents good value"
