This wine offers a nose of red fruits and fresh strawberries. It presents a round, greedy, and ample mouthfeel with bright, spicy red fruit aromas. On the palate, flavors of raspberry and cream, a lush texture, generous weight, and a long, spicy finish make it the complete package, perfect for early consumption. Pairs excellently with grilled beef and lamb, grilled lobster with butter and rosemary, Brie de Meaux, and roasted pumpkin with thyme and garlic. This wine is also a great match for casual BBQ fare, complementing the cedar and wood smoke aromas that enhance any steak on the barbecue. Organic. Located at one of the highest points in Châteaneuf-du-Pape, Château Font du Loup, which translates to 'fountain of the wolves', is named after the natural springs in the area where the wolves would come to drink. Font du Loup has been in the Melia family since 1942 and is now run by the extremely charming Anne Charlotte Melia-Bachas with her husband Laurent and the help of consultant Philippe Cambie. Font du Loup has roughly 20 hectares (organically farmed), including holdings in the La Crau and Font du Loup vineyards, and is planted on mostly sandy soil with vines that reach 100 years old. It is located in one of the coolest appellation places with slow ripening of the grapes. The wines are made in an elegant, pure, pretty style and are as warm and inviting as the good Anne-Charlotte and Laurent.
