Châteauneuf-du-Pape: the most intense expression of the Rhône terroir

Produced in smaller quantities but with great finesse, the white wines of Châteauneuf-du-Pape represent a precious facet of the appellation. Made primarily from grape varieties such as clairette, roussanne, or bourboulenc, they are distinguished by their aromatic richness and generous texture. The bouquet often reveals notes of white flowers, yellow-fleshed fruits, ripe citrus, and sometimes honey or almond. With a well-defined structure, these whites are not limited to their youth: like the reds, they have true aging potential, gaining complexity and depth over the years. They pair elegantly with a wide range of dishes, from fine fish to poultry, as well as aged cheeses.

Far more than a mere AOC, Châteauneuf-du-Pape is today recognized as an international symbol of the great wines of Southern France. The appellation perfectly illustrates how a spectacular terroir — bathed in sunlight, shaped by the Mistral, and covered with rolled pebbles — can produce wines that are powerful, elegant, and deeply marked by their history and origin.
