The Famille Isabel Ferrando 2022 Colombis Châteauneuf-du-Pape is a rare and highly sought-after expression of old-vine Grenache from one of the most respected producers in the Southern Rhône. Crafted by Isabel Ferrando, this cuvée represents the evolution of the former Domaine Saint-Préfert estate, now reimagined under the Famille Isabel Ferrando label.

Sourced exclusively from the lieu-dit “Colombis,” this wine is produced from old Grenache vines over 40 years of age, planted on a unique terroir of sand and limestone soils west of the village of Châteauneuf-du-Pape. This cooler exposure contributes to the wine’s hallmark freshness, elegance, and energy—qualities that define the modern style of Ferrando’s wines.

Produced in extremely limited quantities—approximately 5,000 bottles annually—Colombis is considered one of the estate’s most prized cuvées and a true collector’s wine within the Châteauneuf-du-Pape appellation.

The 2022 vintage delivers a refined and expressive aromatic profile of black cherries, raspberries, peony flowers, and rose petals, layered with subtle notes of dark chocolate, licorice, and tobacco. On the palate, the wine is silky yet structured, with fine tannins, vibrant acidity, and a beautifully balanced concentration that unfolds gradually.

Aged in a combination of foudres and amphorae, the wine preserves both purity of fruit and textural complexity, allowing the Grenache to fully express its terroir without overt oak influence.

This is a wine of precision, finesse, and longevity, reflecting Isabel Ferrando’s vision of a more elegant and terroir-driven Châteauneuf-du-Pape.

Critical Acclaim
