Lovely fresh and vibrant expression, the floral Mourvèdre coming through well. Only medium-bodied, this is pleasingly restrained. Acidity is good, tannins are fine, and the overall effect is one of neatness, balance and finesse. Not a big wine by any means, but very nicely judged. Grown organically on the sandy soils of Les Bédines, this is fermented in tronconic vats then aged in foudres for 18 months.

Varietal Red Rhone Blend

The Rhone region of France has been producing superb quality white blended wines for centuries, and is a region highly respected and esteemed around the world, with plenty of New World countries keen to emulate the styles and techniques displayed by the historic wineries and skilled vintners of the area. The secret to the Rhone's success when it comes to blended white wines is the careful and expert selection of certain grape varietals, which each lend special features to the blended wine and bring balance and harmony to the bottle. Most commonly, blended white Rhone wines feature no more than two grapes of either the Viognier, Rousanne, Marsanne or Grenache Blanc varietals, and are renowned for their exceptional flavors and highly aromatic, floral character.

Region Rhone Valley

The Rhone Valley of southern France is a particularly fascinating wine region, with a history that stretches back to at least six hundred BCE, when the ancient Greeks first began cultivating vines there. The region itself is split into two distinct sub-regions, with the northern sub-region being famed for its production of exceptional Syrah, Marsanne, Roussane and Viognier wines, packed full of interesting character and expressing the terroir found there. The southern sub-region is home to an enormous variety of grapes, and produces red, white and rosé wines, and some of the world's most famous and adored blended wines. The continental climate of the region is ideal for growing grapes, and the winds which blow from the Central Massif help temper the heat in the vineyards, leading to very ripe fruits holding plenty of flavor.

Appellation Chateauneuf Du Pape

Châteauneuf-du-Pape, an illustrious wine appellation in the Southern Rhône Valley, France, stands as a vinous icon recognized for its robust red blends. What makes Châteauneuf-du-Pape unique is its historic heritage, boasting ancient vineyards and a rich winemaking tradition dating back to the papal residence in Avignon. The region allows an assemblage of up to 13 grape varieties, prominently featuring Grenache, Syrah, and Mourvèdre. The distinctive galets, large round stones that retain heat, dotting the vineyards contribute to the wines' complexity and distinctive character. Châteauneuf-du-Pape reds are known for their full-bodied nature, rich dark fruit flavors, and a medley of spices, all underscored by a unique herbaceous quality known as garrigue. The appellation's commitment to traditional winemaking, coupled with its unique terroir, results in wines that exemplify the quintessence of Southern Rhône winemaking, offering enthusiasts a captivating taste of history and the sun-drenched landscapes of Provence.

While the fruit may be less explosive in the 2021 Chateauneuf du Pape Les Safres than in the 2020, it remains charming and seductive, a gentle ride of raspberries and cherries, wrapped in subtle herbal intricacies. It's medium to full-bodied, silky-textured and long on the finish.

Matured for 18 months in foudre, the 2021 Châteauneuf-du-Pape Les Safres is a blend of 90% Grenache and 10% Mourvèdre. Pale ruby-colored, it reveals enticing red fruit aromas mingled with tomato leaf and cloves. Velvety tannins envelope this full-bodied red, balanced by fresh acidity and culminating in a savory finish.

Wine Spectator

An elegant version, with perfumed flower and incense accents sitting atop wild red berry and red currant flavors, while a thread of smoke weaves throughout. A great example of a well-made, energetic red from a challenging vintage. Delivers generous charm and mineral drive through the captivating finish. Grenache and Mourvèdre. Drink now through 2035. 800 cases made, 100 cases imported.

A normal blend of Grenache and Mourvèdre that's all from sandy soils and brought up in a mix of demi-muids and foudre, the 2021 Châteauneuf Du Pape Les Safres has brighter Bing cherry, leather, peppery herb, and building, exotic flower notes in its medium-bodied, nicely concentrated, elegant and seamless profile. It brings more depth and richness than the classic cuvée, has plenty of mid-palate depth, and ripe, polished tannins. Drink bottles over the coming 10-12 years. Tasted twice with consistent notes.
