Scores:
Winemaking: The 2023 was fermented 100% whole cluster and aged mostly in demi-muids, with some amphorae and glass demijohns.
Vineyards and terroir: The grapes come from the estate's holdings in the Quartier des Serres, on the lieu-dit Saint-Préfert, together with fruit from the parcels behind the former Réserve Auguste Favier and Collection Charles Giraud cuvées, which this single blend succeeds. The soils mix galets, gravel, blue clay and sand, and the grapes are organically grown.
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.
