2021 Saint Prefert Domaine Isabel Ferrando Chateauneuf-du-Pape F601, Rhone, France Saisons Renaud Desbourdes returned to helpIt took me 16 years of observation and learning to develop a deep understanding and a personal relationship with my terroir, guided by instinct and feeling. With this vintage, I have launched F601, the pure and absolute expression of my experience with my parcel F601 of Saint Prefert and the old vine Cinsault, planted in 1928, a singular and unique expression. At this point in my life, I am thrilled to share my enchantment for this remarquable wine.
