About the wine:
A distinctive profile featuring macerated fruit, spices, and notes of dried herbs. On the palate, it has a well-balanced body; while not overly concentrated, it is harmonious and has an elegant texture.
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.
