Tasting notes
With hints of cherry brandy, dusty soil, shrubland and dried flowers, this medium-bodied, elegant, smooth, sophisticated, and feminine wine.

Pairing
Veal chops, chanterelle mushrooms

Production

All stems are removed, and the grapes are soaked in liquid to soften them, with gentle extraction occurring daily. Fermentation takes place in concrete tanks for three weeks. Grenache is aged in a combination of tanks and foudres, while Syrah is aged in French oak barrels and foudres. Mourvèdre is aged for 14-16 months in half-muids.

About the Winery

Château de la Font du Loup

Château de la Font du Loup

Located at one of the highest points in Châteaneuf-du-Pape, Château Font du Loup, which translates to 'fountain of the wolves', is named after the natural springs in the area where the wolves would come to drink. Font du Loup has been in the Melia family since 1942 and is now run by the extremely charming Anne Charlotte Melia-Bachas with her husband Laurent and the help of consultant Philippe Cambie. Font du Loup has roughly 20 hectares (organically farmed), including holdings in the La Crau and Font du Loup vineyards, and is planted on mostly sandy soil with vines that reach 100 years old. It is located in one of the coolest appellation places with slow ripening of the grapes. The wines are made in an elegant, pure, pretty style and are as warm and inviting as the good Anne-Charlotte and Laurent.
