Saint Préfert / Isabel Ferrando

Clos Beatus Ille 2019

A lusciously silky Côtes du Rhône that certainly shows off its prestigious roots. Isabel Ferrando (St. Préfert) makes this exceptional wine and it very much comes across as a baby Châteauneuf du Pape in her signature style - this is Ferrando magic at a fraction of the price of her top Cuvées.

85% Grenache and 15% Cinsault

Jeb Dunnuck writes:

"Proprietress Isabel Ferrando continues to fashion some of the most profound wines on the planet"

90 points from Joe Czerwinski (Wine Advocate)

The cherry-scented 2019 Cotes du Rhone Beatus Ille also boasts intricate garrigue shadings, which bring welcome complexity and a slightly savory overtone to the bold, fruity aromas and flavors. It's full-bodied, supple and round in the mouth, with silky tannins on the licorice, rosemary and bay leaf-inflected finish. It should drink well for 3-4 years.

While well-heeled consumers fight over the limited volumes of the super 2018 Collection Charles Giraud and Reserve Auguste Favier, the smart money will be chasing the regular bottlings of red and white Châteauneuf du Pape. The 2019 Côtes du Rhône Beatus Ille is almost as good, and it retails around $20—an even better bargain.
