CHÂTEAUNEUF-DU-PAPE
APPELLATION
Châteauneuf-du-Pape was the first appellation in France to receive AOC classification in 1936. It is known for the remarkable diversity of its soils. The appellation counts four different terroirs originating from three distinctive geological eras: limestone fragments, rolled pebbles, sandy soils and red sandstones. This geological diversity provides a complex aromatic palette and great flavor richness to the wines of Châteauneuf-du-Pape, which are renowned worldwide for their finesse and elegance.
