Léon Perdigal Châteauneuf-du-Pape Half Bottle, Rhône

Majestic’s red wine lovers are likely already familiar with Léon Perdigal – the Côtes du Rhône has long been one of our bestselling wines. The label is a product of Cave des Papes, a renowned producer in the Southern Rhône Valley. Established in 1859, the winery was founded by Léon Perdigal, the company’s first cellarmaster, who had renowned regional expertise. Named in his honour, the label showcases his legacy of excellence. Global icon, Châteauneuf-du-Pape, is one of France’s most famous reds, crafted from a unique combination of diverse grape varieties and distinctive terroir, and characterised by its ancient, sun-drenched soils and pebbled terraces. This is made from grapes grown on terraces of pebbles mixed with sandy red clay, with ageing in concrete tanks for six months. It has an intense bouquet of red fruits and spices, with a touch of liquorice. The wine’s bright fruity flavours are complemented by silky tannins and a long, satisfying finish. Pair with hearty dishes like beef or lamb and rich cheeses. The joy of a half bottle means not having to wait for a particular occasion. Crack this open and make any day that bit more special.
