Châteauneuf-du-Pape commands respect due to its long history of producing exceptional wines. 

Syrah, the dominant red grape in the Northern Rhône Valley wine region, is known for producing high-quality, age-worthy wines. These red grapes can be more expensive to grow and require longer ageing in oak barrels before release, contributing to the cost.

To unlock their full potential, many Châteauneuf-du-Pape reds benefit from ageing between 5-10 years. This allows the bold flavours such as dark fruit and spice to develop further, creating a more complex drinking experience.

Due to its full body profile, it craves bold partners to be paired with. This includes rich cheeses, roasted red meats such as lamb or venison, and hearty stews. If it is a lighter-bodied Châteauneuf-du-Pape, it pairs nicely alongside grilled chicken.
