Côtes-du-Rhône Clos Beatus Ille Domaine Saint-Préfert 2019
The wine
This cuvée is made from Grenache and Cinsault vines planted in red clay and pebble soils, emblematic of the Rhône Valley. The harvests are totally destemmed before a 6-month maturation in concrete vats to allow the wine to mature without the development of oaky notes. A Grenache specialist, Isabel Ferrando succeeds in producing light wines, a rare thing for the Châteauneuf area. It has a beautiful, purple colour and its nose is dominated by intense notes of cherry and spices.
Isabel Ferrando, a former banker, bought Domaine Saint-Préfert in 2003. The vineyard was planted in 1930 on gravel and pebble soils on the southern side of the village of Châteauneuf-du-Pape. Isabel has been producing three cuvées of Châteauneuf-du-Pape red since the beginning of her winemaking career. Her wines reflect the appellation's warm, well-drained and sunny terroir to perfection, and are therefore imbued with candied, chocolatey and empyreumatic notes. Thanks to this determined woman's endeavours, this sustainably-run property is one of the top names in the appellation.
