A classic Châteauneuf-du-Pape red wine crafted in a traditional style from old-vine parcels across the Southern Rhône.
Domaine de Saje Châteauneuf-du-Pape Rouge "Marquis Anselme Mathieu" 2022 is a beautifully poised Rhône red that combines old-vine concentration with a silky, approachable edge. Light ruby in colour with lifted aromas of ripe raspberry, cherry, stewed black fruits, and a touch of wild herbs and spice typical of Grenache-led blends. On the palate, this Châteauneuf-du-Pape is medium-bodied and elegant, with layers of juicy red berries, subtle spice, and fine, supple tannins. There’s a lovely sense of freshness running through it, leading to a smooth, persistent finish with a savoury twist. A refined yet characterful expression of Southern Rhône winemaking, with both immediate charm and short-term ageing potential.

"This feels like proper, old-school Châteauneuf – elegant, layered, and quietly complex. One to open when you want something a bit special without it shouting about it."
Domaine de Saje is led by Jérôme Mathieu, whose family roots in Châteauneuf-du-Pape stretch back to the 16th century. Farming around 23 acres split across 26 parcels, he works with a patchwork of soils, elevations, and exposures, many planted as traditional field blends including all 13 permitted grape varieties. This diversity allows him to craft authentic, old-school Châteauneuf-du-Pape wines that reflect both heritage and terroir. The vineyards are cultivated without herbicides, and all fruit is hand-harvested to preserve quality and character.
This Châteauneuf-du-Pape red wine captures the essence of traditional Southern Rhône winemaking, blending old-vine Grenache with a full field blend for depth and complexity. With its silky texture, layered fruit, and subtle savoury edge, it’s a brilliant example of how elegance and heritage come together in one bottle.
