Original price was: £400.00.Current price is: £239.00.

Writing in Decanter, Matt Walls chose this wine as one of his ’26 of the best white and red Châteauneuf-du-Pape wines available in the UK for £40 or under’—and it is no surprise that this delicious Domaine Giraud Châteauneuf-du-Pape 2021 is one of the reds. The wine is rich and elegant, highly recommended by the Club Wine Tasting Panel, and we have just secured a very small parcel for our Members at an amazingly good price saving some £25 a bottle!

Matt Walls (Decanter) writes: ‘Châteauneuf isn’t cheap. So if you’re on a budget, you need to step carefully. But it is still possible to find excellent wines under £40 per bottle. . . ‘ This Domaine Giraud is one of them! ‘Attractive violet, raspberry and bergamot nose—a very pleasing, scented style. Soft, mouth-filling, concentrated and generous; this has an inner core of freshness that makes for an enjoyably lifted style. Lightly grippy tannins.’

The snag for the public is that Domaine Giraud Châteauneuf-du-Pape 2021 is £65 a bottle! But exclusively CountryClubuk Members can indeed snap it up for, as Decanter says, under £40 a bottle.

This is an excellent example of classic Châteauneuf from one of the region’s most unique and modern wineries. Organically farmed by Marie and François Giraud, the fruit used in this cuvée is picked from vines with an average age of 70-years-old, the Grenache from century-old vines. Composed of 60% Grenache, 35% Syrah, and 5% Mourvèdre, this red is full-bodied and ripe, yet retains elegance and levity with plenty of vibrancy. Note the critics:

Leading sommelier Tanguy Martin notes, ‘Marie and François Giraud are transmitting to the table some super wines offering richness and elegance.’ Age for up to two decades.

This is a fabulous wine and we have only a few cases, so please don’t delay because it will soon run out!
