This wine has survived wars and frauds... 10 bottles to appreciate
Located on the left bank of the Rhône, north of Avignon, Châteauneuf-du-Pape is the largest cru in the Rhône vineyards, and arguably the most emblematic of the southern Rhône Valley. With 3,150 hectares of vines, it is renowned for its diversity of grape varieties - eighteen in all. But Châteauneuf-du-Pape also has a history that goes back several centuries, carried by the winegrowers who pioneered what would become the AOC (Appellation d'Origine Contrôlée) and the INAO (Institut National des Appellations d'Origine).
