Description
Philippe Bravay from Domaine de Ferrand makes one of the finest examples of Chateauneuf du Pape available today. Trophy wine hunters are now taking a keen interest in his wines, but Philippe adheres to an incredibly reasonable pricing policy, which is why the wines represent incredible quality and value.
Philippe has now completely taken over the family domaine (Until 1995 most of the wine was sold to negociants and only a small part was bottled by his father) and is dedicated to preserving the unique traditions and special characteristics that define Chateauneuf du Pape. He uses very traditional methods including partial whole bunch fermentation, natural yeasts and cuvaison and elevage solely in tanks.
All the vines are situated in the lieu-dit Chemin Saint Jean, the same Northern holy grail near Orange as benchmark growers and his his neighbours Charvin, Beaucastel, Marcoux and La Vieille Julienne.
France’s appellation laws, whilst quite brilliant, can be frustrating for some, including Philippe Bravay – a little country road acts as a separation point that prevents these vines from being able to produce Châteauneuf du Pâpe. They really are fantastic Côtes du Rhônes with some parcels planted between 1933 and 1946.
The 2021 Côtes Du Rhône ‘Mistral’ (80% Grenache plus Syrah, Cinsault & Mourvèdre) which is from vines around the outskirts of the Châteauneuf du Pâpe AOP is a fabulous example and shows the pedigree of this grower by the quality in the glass following a more challenging vintage. Gorgeous fragrance, a more high toned expression (than the 2020) concentration of fruit, freshness and length and as the french say ‘la buvabilite’ yep its dangerously drinkable – incredible for what you pay for this wine and why it makes it astonishingly good, authentic Côtes Du Rhône! Don’t hesitate to stock up and enjoy now .. while your Vieilles Vignes and Chateauneufs rest in the cellar!
