Domaine Féraud et Fils Châteauneuf-du-Pape is a deeply concentrated, classic red wine produced in the Southern Rhône Valley of France. Crafted by the renowned Féraud family, famous for their traditional, low-intervention approach to winemaking, this bottling showcases the exceptional power and generosity of the warm 2017 vintage. Led by old-vine Grenache alongside classic Rhône varieties, it offers a rich, sun-drenched profile brimming with ripe dark fruit, exotic spice, and traditional Southern Rhône character.

Why You'll Love It

This wine stands out for its immense depth, velvety power, and expressive garrigue aromatics. The low-yielding 2017 growing season produced grapes with incredible sugar concentration and phenolic ripeness, resulting in a full-bodied, opulent red. Aged in traditional large oak foudres rather than small barriques, it retains its pure fruit purity while developing nuanced layers of wild herbs, sweet leather, and cracked black pepper that will continue to evolve gracefully.

Vineyard & Production

The fruit is hand-harvested from mature vines planted across classic Châteauneuf-du-Pape terroirs, featuring quartz galets roulés over sandy clay soils. Following a rigorous selection in the vineyard and cellar, the grapes undergo traditional whole-cluster fermentation in concrete vats using indigenous yeasts. Extended skin contact with gentle pump-overs allows for rich extraction of colour and supple tannins. The wine then matures for up to 18 months in large neutral oak foudres to harmonize its broad structure without masking its intrinsic terroir expression.

Tasting Notes

In the glass, it presents a rich garnet colour with deep brick highlights at the rim. The nose is intense and captivating, bursting with aromas of kirsch, baked blackberries, and dried figs, layered with notes of garrigue herbs, lavender, cured meat, and sweet baking spices. On the palate, it is full-bodied, warm, and expansive, delivering lush black fruit and plum compote flavours framed by ripe, velvety tannins and a long, peppery, spirit-warmed finish.

Perfect Pairings

With its generous structure, sun-ripened dark fruit, and savoury herbal complexity, this Châteauneuf-du-Pape is a magnificent choice for hearty food pairings. It pairs brilliantly with slow-roasted shoulder of lamb, venison ragù, wild boar stew, and grilled ribeye steak with herbs de Provence. It is also an excellent partner for rich casseroles, roasted duck, and matured hard cheeses such as Comté, Cantal, or aged Gouda.
