"La Fiole du Pape has been Brotte's flagship Châteauneuf since its creation in 1952" (Guide Hachette)

"Open, easy to drink and aromatic", "Lots of fruit, soft tannins" (Robert Parker)

This mythical bottle is original, to say the least. We were as intrigued as you were when we discovered it for the first time and we fell in love with the delicious nectar it contains. We are not the only ones as it is the best selling Châteauneuf-du-Pape in the world!

Created in 1952 by Charles Brotte, its taste has remained the same year after year. The house mixes young and old vintages to offer us a very aromatic and ready to drink Châteauneuf-du-Pape. A unique case in the Rhône and even in France, inspired by the non-vintage Champagne method.

Combine your order with other cuvées from the house such as Côtes-du-Rhône or Cairanne.

Why this bottle shape: The Fiole is the result of a competition of local ceramists whose theme was "The wild movement of the vine in the Mistral". Charles Brotte took part in this competition in 1952 and won first prize by designing a bottle that imitated the Grenache vine.

The star of the most unusual and inexpensive Languedoc wines

In 1991, Jean-François Carrel, nicknamed Jeff, decided to change his life. He trained and became an oenologist in 1994. Accompanied by Sébastien Calduch, he travelled all over France and it was in Ansignan, in the Roussillon region, that the two friends decided to take over some vineyards.

In just a few years, Jeff Carrel, described as an "eclectic winemaker", has made his mark with wines that are "as surprising as they are pleasing" (Bettane & Desseauve). His original brands have made a name for themselves, such as "Les Darons" and "La Vieille Mule". He attaches great importance to respecting the environment in each of his wines, whether they come from his wine estate or from his local partner winegrowers.

"The committed plot selection is beginning to bear fruit. We are seduced by the regularity of the range and its cornerstones: spontaneity of fruit, delicacy and precise definition of each vintage" (La RVF)

Dominique Piron has worked hard all his life to show that the Gamay grape is capable of the best. On characteristic granite terroirs, this grape variety proves to be powerful, complex and, above all, very far from the Beaujolais Nouveau. By producing parcels on the best climates, Piron has become one of the great names of contemporary Beaujolais. He thus perpetuates a family tradition of more than 4 centuries.

Philippe Auchère chooses not to add artificial yeast to his wines, which ferment only with indigenous yeast, naturally present in the juice. Moreover, no acidity corrector or deviant input is added to his wines. Each cuvée has its own characteristics, expressing as faithfully as possible its year and its terroir.

In a responsible and ecological logic, it is the pig Gaston who maintains the surrounding undergrowth. Rasta, Rockett and Lola, sheep from Ouessant, maintain the green spaces, and finally some hens take care of the slugs which would take the way of the vegetable garden. It is in this rustic setting that Philippe tries to elaborate wines that are both authentic and atypical.

The Sancerre Blanc reveals exotic aromas and a scent of citrus. It will be a perfect ally of seafood, fish and white meats.

The Red Sancerre offers silky tannins and spicy aromas. Already ready to drink, it can also be forgotten in the cellar. A great pinot noir, fruity, on the freshness, in its 2020 version, it will accompany wonderfully a red meat.
