Ode de Bellecôte Châteauneuf-du-Pape 2023
Châteauneuf-du-Pape is one of France's most prestigious appellations, and this is a classic Southern Rhône Grenache–Syrah. Wild herbs, sweet spice and black pepper on the nose. The palate gives way to sumptuous black fruit, with the leather and gamey notes that are the hallmark of a top-quality Châteauneuf. Full-bodied at 15%, aged a full 18 months in oak, and exclusive to Winedrops.
"Delicious. I'd drink it every day if I could."

How it's made
Châteauneuf-du-Pape is one of France's most prestigious wine appellations — home to some of the Southern Rhône's finest reds, and a name that carries a price to match on the high street.
This is a classic Grenache–Syrah blend from a producer inside the appellation itself, full-bodied at 15%.
It is then aged a full 18 months in oak — rare at this price, and where the leather, sweet spice and savoury depth on the palate come from.
