100/100
RVF
"Instant gratification!"
"One of the three greatest wines in this tasting. I tasted it and compared it with its peers several times. Each time, the intensity of its explosive fruit gave it unparalleled harmony and scope. A sumptuous wine with notes of blood orange and Burlat cherry, with a deep body that never strays from the finesse of its safres soil. (RVF magazine no. 685 - November 2024)

About wine:
One of the three great wines of this tasting. I tasted it and compared it with its peers several times. Each time, the intensity of its explosive fruit gave it unparalleled harmony and scope. A sumptuous wine with notes of blood orange and Burlat cherry, with a deep body that never strays from the finesse of its safres soil.
About the estate:
Located in Courthézon, Font de Courtedune was created in 1997, after years of delivering grapes to the cooperative winery, by the father of Caroline and Frédéric Charlier, brother and sister who now run the estate. In thirty years, this discreet property has become one of the sure values of Châteauneuf-du-Pape. Caroline and Frédéric arrived at the estate in 2001 and took over in 2010 after their father's death. While Frédéric works in the vineyards, Caroline manages the wines in the cellar. Continuing the tradition, she vinifies with the stems and ages the wine in concrete vats. IGP, Côtes-du-Rhône, and Châteauneuf, an almost pure Grenache from a safre sector: here, all the wines have the same common thread, finesse and purity, nothing else.
