WINE DESCRIPTION

Domaine de Ferrand Châteauneuf-du-Pape is a premium wine produced by the Ferrand family in the Châteauneuf-du-Pape appellation of the Rhône Valley. The vineyard features a unique terroir with sandy soils and large pebbles, which impart a distinct minerality to the wine. The winemaking process involves traditional techniques such as hand-harvesting and aging in oak barrels, resulting in a complex and elegant wine with notes of dark fruit, spice, and herbs. The wine is known for its full-bodied and rich character, balanced by a refreshing acidity and silky tannins.

NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER

Domaine de Ferrand Châteauneuf-du-Pape is an exquisite expression of the region's terroir.On the nose, ripe dark fruit, blackberry, and raspberry jam aromas are complemented by peppery spice and a hint of leather. On the palate, the flavors are deep and concentrated, with rich, velvety tannins leading to a long and harmonious finish. Enjoy this classic example of the Rhône Valley's most famous appellation.

ORIGINS

Winery: Domaine de Ferrand

Region: Rhone

The Rhone wine region is located in southeastern France. It runs along the Rhone River roughly from Lyon in the north to Avignon in the south. It is divided into two main sub-regions: the Northern Rhone, running from Lyon to Montelimar, and the Southern Rhone, from Montelimar to Avignon. Although wines of all color are made, both regions are most famous for thier red wine. The Northern Rhone is known for its full-bodied red wines made from Syrah grapes with the possible inclusion of some white grapes, while the Southern Rhone is known for its blends of Grenache, Syrah, and Mourvèdre grapes. The region has a long history of wine production, dating back to the ancient Romans with the sites of some former Roman vineyards being replanted surrounding the town of Vienne.
