Châteauneuf du Pape

A unique terroir, discovered by the Popes as early as the 12th century and enhanced by the initiator of the Appellations d’Origine Controlee system of Baron Le Roy, Châteauneuf du Pape benefits from a long tradition of high quality wines. The region’s unique bottle, with engraved keys of Saint Pierre and the Pope’s tiara, is a pledge for authenticity. Our Châteauneuf du Pape are mainly on plateaux and small hillsides, sandy soil and clay soils with the terroir’s famous round pebbles. Aged between 25 and 100 year old, our vines are located on the celebrated areas of Pignan, les Bédines, Valori, Saint Georges and Guigasse.
