Domaine de Saint-Préfert Châteauneuf-du-Pape Collection Charles Giraud Magnum 2011, crafted in France’s Southern Rhône, is a Mourvèdre-dominated blend in a magnum format from a stellar vintage, showcasing the estate’s galet-rich terroir. The bouquet reveals blackberry, cassis, and dark cherry, with notes of spice, garrigue, and licorice, complemented by hints of leather and graphite. The palate is full-bodied and opulent, with velvety tannins and vibrant acidity that balance the concentrated fruit. Its terroir-driven minerality is enhanced by French oak aging, reflecting Saint-Préfert’s biodynamic winemaking. The finish is long, powerful, and refined, with remarkable aging potential. Perfect for pairing with roasted lamb, grilled game, or aged cheeses, this magnum is a collector’s masterpiece, embodying Châteauneuf-du-Pape’s iconic terroir and offering a sophisticated drinking experience for enthusiasts seeking a robust Rhône wine. Its richness and complexity make it a standout from the 2011 vintage.
