THE ANNUAL WINTER FÊTE IS SATURDAY DEC. 6TH! Get Tickets!
Domaine Font de Courtedune is a boutique estate working alongside its more famous neighbour in the sandy soils near Châteauneuf-du-Pape. Under Caroline and Frédéric Charrier the domaine focuses on old vines, minimal intervention, and expressing the purity of Grenache-based Rhône blends.
- WINEMAKER: Caroline & Frédéric Charrier
- FARMING: Sustainable viticulture with low yields; grapes are hand-harvested and whole-bunch vinified to preserve freshness and site expression.
- VARIETY: 80% Grenache, 10% Mourvèdre, 10% Syrah.
- TERROIR: Estate vineyards in the Côtes du Rhône zone share the sandy, well-drained soils of neighbouring Châteauneuf-du-Pape. The old-vine parcels average 50 years in age.
- VINIFICATION: Grapes are partially whole-cluster fermented in concrete vats with native yeasts, with no new oak used in maturation.
- AGING: Aged in concrete for roughly nine months before bottling to retain transparency of fruit and terroir.
- TASTING NOTES: The 2022 release reveals aromatic red and black fruit—raspberry, black cherry—with floral and garrigue notes. The palate is weightless yet intense, marked by fine sandy tannins, fresh acid, and a saline, savory finish.
- FOOD PAIRINGS: Ideal with grilled red meats, ratatouille, herb-roasted chicken, or even mushroom pizza.
