"Following a 2022 vintage that received a 100/100 rating from RVF, the 2023 vintage has already been awarded a 96–97 by RVF while still in the barrel!"

Rich and deep, it bursts with the aroma of strawberry jam. This indulgent character is reflected in a full-bodied yet powerful wine, with an unusually masculine character. With exposure to air, the finesse of the vintage comes into its own in this wine still in the process of aging. (RVF Magazine No. 695 - November 2025). A true revelation for its 2022 vintage, the 2023 Châteauneuf-du-Pape from Domaine Font de Courtedune follows in the footsteps of its predecessor!

About the wine:

Rich and deep, it exudes the aroma of strawberry jam. This indulgent quality is reflected in a full-bodied yet powerful wine, with an unusually masculine character. With exposure to air, the finesse of the vintage comes into its own in this wine, which is still maturing. (RVF Magazine No. 695 – November 2025)

About the estate:

Located in Courthézon, Font de Courtedune was founded in 1997—after years of delivering grapes to the cooperative winery—by the father of Caroline and Frédéric Charlier, the brother and sister who now run the estate. Over the past thirty years, this unassuming estate has become one of Châteauneuf-du-Pape’s most reliable names. Caroline and Frédéric joined the estate in 2001 and took over in 2010 following their father’s passing. While Frédéric tends to the vineyards, Caroline manages the wines in the cellar. Staying true to tradition, she vinifies with the stems and ages the wine in concrete tanks. IGP, Côtes-du-Rhône, and Châteauneuf—a nearly pure Grenache from a Safre sector: here, all the wines share the same guiding principle—finesse and purity, nothing else.
