Scores:
Winemaking: The 2022 was aged for about 18 months in roughly equal parts foudres, concrete and terracotta jars (amphorae).
Vineyards and terroir: The grapes come from the estate's original holdings in the Quartier des Serres, on the lieu-dit Saint-Préfert, planted mainly to Grenache with Cinsault and Mourvèdre in one of the hottest, driest parts of the appellation. The soils mix galets, gravel, blue clay and sand.
Family and history: The estate was founded in 1930 by Fernand Serre under the name Saint-Préfert. Isabel Ferrando left a career in banking and took over the property on the Chemin Saint-Préfert in 2002, making her first vintage in 2003; her wines quickly won international acclaim. In 2020 the estate became Famille Isabel Ferrando and returned to the Châteauneuf tradition of blending its parcels into this single cuvée, and in 2023 her daughter Guillemette joined her after training in Beaune.
