Domaine Font de Courtedune - Côtes du Rhône Vieilles Vignes 2021
92/100
Decanter
"A Côtes du Rhône bursting with richness"
Fermented as whole clusters, as at Rayas, the old Grenache, Cinsault, and Syrah vines develop remarkable complexity. The bouquet evolves into notes of red berries, blackcurrant, and spices. The attack is round and enveloping, supported by structured, refined tannins. The finish is pleasantly long and offers a rich, indulgent pleasure. Enjoy it now, or let it age for those with more patience…

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 producers. 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 winemaking in the cellar. Staying true to tradition, she vinifies with the stems and ages the wine in concrete tanks. Whether IGP, Côtes-du-Rhône, or Châteauneuf—a nearly pure Grenache from the Safre sector—all the wines here share the same guiding principle: finesse and purity, nothing else.
