Châteauneuf-du-Pape F 601

Information

Description

Famille Isabel Ferrando's F601 is a Châteauneuf-du-Pape made from Cinsault planted in 1928. The name reproduces the cadastral reference of an arid parcel in the southern part of the estate, within the Saint-Préfert terroir. The ground combines rounded stones, gravel, blue clay and quartz sand, with layers capable of retaining water at depth. Whole bunches ferment in concrete with indigenous yeasts; maturation uses previously filled demi-muids. The general profile highlights a delicate texture, freshness and floral suggestions, including garden flowers and dried roses, in this interpretation of old Cinsault holdings.
