In a few words ...
Châteauneuf du Pape is one of the best-known wines in the Rhone Valley. It takes its name from a summer residence of the popes of Avignon, and its brilliance from an exceptional natural environment strewn with large rounded pebbles. The landscape is composed of terraces and slopes. Warmed by the Mediterranean sun, the pebbles store heat during the day and release it at night. The majority grape variety is Grenache Noir. These are full-bodied, robust wines with a powerful, complex bouquet.
The 1984 vintage had been oversold en primeur and ended up at knock-down prices at wine fairs, much to the delight of consumers.

Appellation
Châteauneuf-du-Pape
The appellation Châteauneuf-du-Pape is part of the region of Vallée du Rhône from France which include Clos du Calvaire and its 4 cuvées. Spread over The Rhone Valley and its rich, complex terroirs. The region is divided into two distinct subregions: Northern Rhone (known as Rhône Septentrional) and Southern Rhone (Rhône Méridional). In the former we find strong wines in beautiful colours with warm, spicy notes, produced by vineyards that stretch 4,700 ha along the Rhone. The latter, with an area of 71,000 ha, is much more important, and this is evident of course in its annual production of red, rosé and white wines quite unlike those of the Northern Rhone., this region is 3 million hectolitres per year of red wines, rosés, dry and sparkling white wines, and natural sweet wine..
