Châteauneuf-du-Pape AOC
Loading...
Escondudes is a great discovery – a fine Châteauneuf estate next to the iconic Vieux Télégraphe. No buildings, just a perfect, stony vineyard, tended by two real old timers who’ve nurtured the vines all their lives. An awe inspiring Double Gold red.

The Wine
Just next door to Domaine du Vieux Télégraphe, Châteauneuf’s most famous estate, is another treasure, a domaine known to relatively few, yet whose wines have won a string of awards over the years, with even the great Rhône expert Robert Parker rating recent vintages highly. Winemaker there is Thierry Ferlay, who honed his skills in Australia’s premium Rutherglen region as well as at top Rhône estates. Domaine Les Escondudes 2014 is made purely from Grenache, for its voluptuous, mouthfilling fruit, and bottled without oak ageing because, frankly, its massive flavours just don’t need it. Packed with lusciously ripe, spicy, bramble character, this wine goes beautifully with roasted meats and game such as canard à l’orange or rabbit stew.
"I don’t buy a lot of French wine but got this in a case, and WOW I’ve already placed another order"
