The estate and the wine
The estate and the wine It is an address highly sought after for its talent! La Villa Safranier is a dream come true for a passionate winemaker who decided to settle in the terroir of Rasteau and Châteauneuf with the ambition of producing great wines. The Grenache and Syrah grapes are used to make full-bodied, fresh wines on a land where saffron was once grown!

An ambitious producer, trained in Burgundy, Claude Hilt has realized his dream on his native land and has set the bar very high from the start. This wine is a great way to discover Châteauneuf.
Wine The 2021 red Châteauneuf-du-Pape is undoubtedly one of the best value for money at the moment. Without sacrificing anything, neither the requirement nor the style of these highly sought-after wines, it displays a beautiful finesse, a delicate and assertive palate punctuated by fine-grained tannins and savory floral and fruity flavors that stretch into a delicious finish. Great art at a wise price.
Vinification Hand harvested. Traditional vinification, fermentation in thermo-regulated stainless steel tanks.
