Châteauneuf‑du‑Pape is one of the most prestigious appellations in the Southern Rhône Valley of France, renowned for its bold Grenache‑based blends and remarkable aging potential. The name translates to “New Castle of the Pope,” a tribute to the 14th‑century Popes of Avignon who encouraged viticulture in the region. Covering over 3,200 hectares of vineyards, it produces some of the Rhône’s most celebrated wines, prized for their richness, complexity, and longevity.
Crafted from up to 13 permitted grape varieties, Châteauneuf‑du‑Pape is dominated by Grenache, with Syrah and Mourvèdre adding structure, spice, and depth. Smaller amounts of Cinsault, Counoise, and other traditional grapes contribute aromatic complexity. White wines are also produced, though they represent less than 10% of the appellation’s output. Bottled at around 14–15% ABV, these wines reflect the warmth of the Mediterranean climate and the stony terroir known as galets roulés.
On the nose, Châteauneuf‑du‑Pape offers aromas of ripe raspberry, plum, and blackcurrant, layered with notes of garrigue (wild herbs), pepper, and subtle oak. The palate is full‑bodied and powerful, with flavors of dark berries, spice, and earthy undertones. The finish is long and structured, often allowing the wine to age gracefully for 10–20 years depending on the vintage.
