Domaine de Ferrand is a small estate with only 7.5 hectares of Châteauneuf-du-Pape vineyards spread over six parcels in 4 lieux dits, half being 95- to 110-year-old vines. Philippe Bravay's Châteauneuf-du-Pape is precise and clean. He doesn't use any barriques and keeps intervention to a minimum in the winery—these wines only get better with age. 

This large format bottling is from 2007, one of the best vintages for Rhone so far this century. Extra large bottles like this 3L Jeroboam age more slowly, so this will continue to develop for years to come ...but don't let that stop you if you want to enjoy this right away, just make sure you have plenty of friends around!
