Château de la Font du Loup Châteauneuf-du-Pape 2023
A classic Châteauneuf-du-Pape from a single 20-hectare sandy vineyard.
Grape Varietals & Region: 60% Grenache, 15% Syrah, 20% Mourvèdre and 5% Cinsault from a single 20-hectare vineyard on sandy soil in Châteauneuf-du-Pape, Rhône Valley, France.
Taste Profile: Rich and complex, with ripe dark fruit — blackberry and plum — intertwined with spice, herbs and hints of garrigue. Velvety texture, well-integrated tannins and vibrant acidity carry through to a long, satisfying finish.
Winemaking Process: Grenache is aged in foudres, Mourvèdre in 600L oak and Syrah in smaller barrels, each for 18 months, preserving the integrity of the grapes and the unique character of the terroir.
Winemaker: Chateau de la Font du Loup has been in the Melia family since 1942, when they bought the estate as growers, selling their harvest to négociants until they began producing their own wine in 1979 under Charles Melia. Today his daughter, Anne-Charlotte Mélia Bachas, runs the estate with her husband Laurent Bachas, bringing organic farming and HVE Level 3 certification to a property whose name — "Fountain of the Wolf" — comes from local folklore about wolves drinking at its springs.
