Why the Châteauneuf-du-Pape appellation?

Châteauneuf-du-Pape is distinguished by its exceptional terroir, its unique blend of 13 authorized grape varieties and its rich history linked to the popes of Avignon in the 14th century. Its pebbly soil stores heat during the day and releases it at night, ensuring optimal ripening of the grapes. The appellation is also known for its strict production rules, guaranteeing wines of the highest quality. Thanks to its Mediterranean climate, its wines offer great concentration, aromatic complexity and excellent ageing potential. These characteristics make it one of the most prestigious appellations in the Rhône Valley.
