From the sun-drenched terraces of the Southern Rhône, La Collection Bio Facélie 2020 is a bold and expressive Châteauneuf-du-Pape crafted from organically farmed vines rooted in the appellation’s iconic galets roulés, the large pebbles left by the ancient Rhône riverbed. Beneath them lies sandy red clay, a combination that brings both ripeness and structure to the wine.
 
Hand-harvested at optimal maturity and vinified in concrete tanks, the wine undergoes a long vatting period of three to four weeks, allowing for gentle extraction of colour and tannins. It is then aged for 15–18 months in vats and large wooden casks, preserving fruit purity while adding depth and texture.
 
The 2020 vintage reveals an intense bouquet of ripe blackcurrant and raspberry, layered with warm spice and subtle savoury notes. On the palate, it is generous and powerful, offering richness and depth with spicy undertones that evolve into hints of leather. The structure is bold yet balanced, with a long, satisfying finish.
 
A characterful, full-bodied Châteauneuf-du-Pape ideal for cellaring yet already showing impressive complexity.
