If you follow the Vallée du Rhône wine road to its southern end, near Avignon, you’ll find the renowned designation Châteauneuf-du-Pape. You have without any doubt already seen, during your tastings, this designation’s iconic bottle, engraved with the town's coat of arms. 

These fine wines’ reputation, as well as their names, are due to Avignon’s popes and especially Jean XXII who built a fortress there. This castle was the new pope’s summer residence, the Châteauneuf-du-Pape. It’s under his guidance that the region’s wines were developped and that their reputation started to grow. 

If this AOC’s wines are so renowned, it’s because the vines that cover the hill around the village have a terroir of a particular high complexity and rarity. The soils are composed of multiple sedimentary layers and offer both pebbled soils (typical of the designation) and limestone, sandstone and sandy soils. 

The sub-soils are made of red clays, that enable the vines to grow long roots. These soils, in addition to the particularly dry (because of the mistral wind) Mediterranean climate, allow the vines to flourish under a dry and hot climate. Finally, there are no less than 13 grape varieties (Grenache, Syrah, Mourvèdre, Cinsault, Clairette...) that are cultivated there, allowing the ancestral knowledge of the designation winegrowers to be exercised in many ways.
