What makes Châteauneuf-du-Pape special?
Châteauneuf-du-Pape (pronounced sha-toe-nuf-do-pap) is a world-famous French wine from the Rhône Valley. It shares the name of the wine region where it is made.
Châteauneuf-du-Pape is one of France’s most premium and expensive wines and is highly sought by wine enthusiasts and collectors worldwide. Available in red and white styles, it is made from a blend of international and native grape varieties.
Châteauneuf-du-Pape is a powerful, full-bodied wine. If you’re into bold flavours, then Châteauneuf-du-Pape – whether red or white – really delivers.
Red Châteauneuf-du-Pape, the most common type, is typically full-bodied and robust. With intense flavours of juicy dark berries, black stone fruits, warming spice and earthy hints, it’s like a warm hug in a glass. Perfect for a cold winter day.
White Châteauneuf-du-Pape is less common but is equally delicious in a different way. Still rich and full-bodied, these dry whites offer sweeter flavours and aromas of stone fruit, honey, flowers and almonds. White Châteauneuf-du-Pape has a refreshing acidity coupled with an intriguing mineral finish.
While you can certainly enjoy them when they’re young, Châteauneuf-du-Pape wines have excellent ageing potential. This means if you buy a bottle of Châteauneuf-du-Pape today, it can still taste amazing after several years if you store it properly. As the wine ages, it develops even deeper, more complex flavours.
Red Châteauneuf-du-Pape may develop more earthy and savoury characteristics as it ages. In contrast, white Châteauneuf-du-Pape’s fresh fruit flavours may develop towards a more honeyed and nutty profile.
What food pairs well with Châteauneuf-du-Pape?
Châteauneuf-du-Pape reds are quite the hearty bunch. They are the perfect partner for a good meat dish such as roast beef or braised lamb shanks. Fancy a classic French pairing? Try it with Beef Bourguignon or a navarin of lamb. After dinner, a bold cheese such as Roquefort or aged Cheddar is a perfect match.
On the other hand, white Châteauneuf-du-Pape is great with substantial fish dishes. Think salmon or cod with a creamy white sauce. It also pairs well with roast chicken, turkey or pork. Feel like something lighter? Grilled or roasted herby vegetables hit the spot perfectly.
Getting ready to serve a Châteauneuf-du-Pape?
Here are some tips so you can enjoy it at its best.
- For reds, aim for a touch cooler than room temperature, around 16-18°C.
- White Châteauneuf-du-Pape should be served chilled – between 10-12°C. Too cold, and you’ll dull its delicious flavours and aromas. Consider decanting, especially for the red wines.
- Giving the wine an hour to breathe can help those complex flavours shine.
- Serve Châteauneuf-du-Pape wine in a large, rounded wine glass. This type of glass, also known as a Burgundy glass, is ideal because it brings the wine’s aromatics to life, and its narrow rim directs those aromas towards your nose.
