Food pairings: Red meats, game birds, charcuterie, white meats and a cheese board.
Winemaking: The grapes are harvested by hand and sorted three times. Maceration lasts two to three weeks, with pump-overs, rack-and-returns and punch-downs, followed by malolactic fermentation. The wine is lightly filtered before bottling.
Vineyards and terroir: The vineyard lies on the high tablelands typical of northern Châteauneuf-du-Pape. Its soils of alpine diluvium and chalky Miocene sediment are covered with large flint pebbles (silex), which hold the day's heat through the night and limit evaporation.
Family and history: Château Cabrières has belonged to the Arnaud family for three generations, from Louis Arnaud in the 1950s to his son Guy. Since 2009 the estate has been run by Agnès Arnaud and her husband, Patrick Vernier.
