Isabel Ferrand is headed for the top, of that there can be little doubt. To say she is chasing a certain producer’s crown would be an understatement! Together with her husband she purchased this moribund estate in 2003 and since then has employed the help of Chateauneuf’s resident oenologist Philippe Cambie. To the further astonishment of the village, Isabelle has managed to purchase a few extra hectares of prime vineyards too! The production at present is small, a mere 22’000 bottles, but as her new purchases come on-stream expect this figure to rise. The main focus of her vineyards is to the south-east of the village in the Quartier de Serres. Here, the soil is galets roules (red pebbles).

2006 Chateauneuf du pape 'Auguste Favier' The 2006 Chateauneuf du Pape Reserve Auguste Favier is slightly darker ruby plum in color, with plenty of kirsch as well as licorice, lavender, herbs, and meat juices. It is full-bodied, dense, and a stunning example of a terrific 2006. It should drink well for 14-15 years. (RP)

2006 Chateauneuf-du-Pape 'Charles Giraud' There are a number of red cuvees made at the estate but it was the selection Charles Giraud made from 60% Grenache and 40% old vine Mourvedre really stands out. Aged in three-year-old demi-muids after fermentation. The grapes are 100% destemmed. The 2006 is a fabulous wine, so complex and warming. Very deep in colour with scintillating aromas of cassis, kirsh and exotic spices. Slightly sauvage in character given its Mourvedre content. Long and rich on the finish. 10-15+ years. (JG)
