The 2006 Domaine Saint Prefert Chateauneuf du Pape Auguste Favier is made from 40- to 100-year-old Grenache vines (about 80% of the cuvee), and the balance Cinsault and Syrah, with the Grenache again aged in tank, and the other varietals aged in small barrels.
Saint Prefert, the Product of Passion and Know How
In the 1920's, Mr. Fernand Serre, a pharmacist in Avignon, discovered that a small piece of vineyard in Chateauneuf-du Pape bore his name: the Serres area. As a respectful winelover, he purchased about 80 hectares of vines, at the southern tip of the village of Chateauneuf.
Mr. Serre had been secretly dreaming for years of becoming a vintner. He quickly built the winery and learned winemaking techniques. Mr. Serre was one of the first winters in Chateauneuf to bottle his own wine. Today, Isabel Ferrando perpetuates this know-how and passion for wine growing.
All the grape varieties used are vinified separately. Grenache and Cinsault bring warmth, colour and body. Mauvedre and Syrah offer structure and ageing potential. Counoise and Picpoul enhance vinosity and freshness. All of Saint Prefert's wines are estate bottled.
As Robert Parker says "Ever since winemaker Isabel Ferrando released her fabulous 2003s, this superb estate has become one of my favorite estates in Chateauneuf du Pape. Located in the Serres quarter of the appellation, where the football-sized rocks are especially noticeable, all one has to do is taste the 2003 Charles Giraud from Saint-Prefert to realize what exceptional heights can be reached. If you haven't discovered Saint-Prefert and the brilliant winemaker Isabel Ferrando, it's about time!"
Reviews
Wine Spectator 94 Points
Sleek and pure, with superb concentration to the fig, currant paste and mocha notes, all balanced by black licorice and mineral notes that extend through the finish, which echoes with sweet tobacco, hoisin sauce and ganache, boding well for cellaring. Best from 2009 through 2028. 830 cases made. -JM
Robert Parker 91 Points
The 2006 Chateauneuf du Pape Reserve Auguste Favier will probably be a blend of approximately 80% Grenache (from 40 to 100-year old vines) and the balance Cinsault and Syrah. It exhibits a deep ruby hue along with a stunning nose of sweet raspberry and cherry fruit, melted tar, and a touch of licorice. Full-bodied, soft, ripe, voluptuous, lush, and silky-textured, it should drink beautifully for 10-15 years.
