Product Details
Berrys' Notes

Chateauneuf-du-Pape, Terroir Les Safres, Ogier Caves des Papes

With their unparalleled access and expertise in the region, Ogier have developed an award-winning range based on the four predominant soil types in the famous village of Châtauneuf-du-Pape.

Safre means compressed fine sand; a terroir originating from marine sediment which is relatively low in limestone and devoid of the picturesque pebbles encountered elsewhere in the village. These soils are most commonly found in the central eastern vineyards, the most famous example being Château Rayas.

The blend is made up of 65% Grenache, 15% Syrah and 10% of both Mourvèdre and Cinsault The Safres 2007 bears all the hallmarks of this superb vintage with lively high-toned aromatics of violets, macerated plum and pot pourri, then a palate which is silky and elegant but not without the classic savoury and herbal notes for which this village is so famous.
