Purchase AOC Châteauneuf-du-Pape wines

The AOC Châteauneuf-du-Pape is located in the south of the Rhône Valley, north of the city of Avignon. It is one of the most renowned in the entire French wine landscape. Its origins date back to the 14th century, when Pope John XXII built a fortress in the eponymous town and developed the vineyard there. Covering about 3,200 hectares, the region is especially known for its full-bodied red wines  with excellent aging potential (93% of the production), but a small proportion of high-quality white wines is also produced (7%).The grape varieties used are 13 in number (or 17 if the variants of the other color are considered), but the most common are the famous  grenache, syrah, and mourvèdre in red as well as the grenache blanc, clairette, bourboulenc and roussanne in white. From a terroir perspective, the soils of the region are not limited to the famous rolled pebbles which, although very present, are complemented by sandy and clay-limestone areas. Discover in this historic appellation the magnificent Domaine Pierre Usseglio as well as the very famous Château de Beaucastel, part of the elite of great French wines.
